Here: In other news, no one in North America is trying to shoot him. We just think he is dumb and boring.
Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science, and when you understand it you will know more about yourself and every other living thing on Earth. We are made of atoms that were blasted out of ancient stars, and so we are somehow at least one way that the universe knows itself. That fills me with reverence, and I hope it fills teachers with reverence. I hope that the passion associated with reverence they can imbue into their students.
A crank. So? Hey, it’s legal, but people shouldn’t be forced to listen to it.
Blasted out of stars. Bill must be a Geology Major. He is skipping a few steps. Needs to brush up on Genesis. Start there billy boy

Well, we could start a 1000-comment post listing all the ways this is a ridiculous statement by Mr. Nye, but then he’d probably just pull a Black Knight and say “see how many objections they’ve posted and still can’t refute me? I must be on to something!”
Hey, it’s legal, but people shouldn’t be forced to listen to it.
Your article leaves out the part where people are forced to read his book or U.S. News and World Report. (Surely they can’t force people to read that in Canada!)
No learned hand, people are forced to learn this crap in school…..
I think he’s a neo-Pantheist.
“We are made of atoms that were blasted out of ancient stars …”
This reminds me of Ramandu saying:
“Even in your world […] that is not what a star is but only what it is made of.”

Yes, but they aren’t required to believe it.
Unlike many religious schools and colleges where you not only have to know the crap you have to believe it as well.
Seversky, since you apparently believe that ‘evolution crap’, can you prove that “Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science” as Bill Nye claimed? I’ve recently learned that Evolution, far from being “the fundamental idea in all of life science” as Darwinists like to claim, is actually a ‘theologically based narrative gloss’ on science instead of being foundational to science
Darwin himself, in a private corespondence to Asa Gray, professor of biology at Harvard University, admitted that his ‘speculations run quite beyond the bounds of true science’,,,
One way to clearly see that Darwinism is not really a rigid science in any meaningful sense, but is instead a pseudo-science, is to see if neo-Darwinism has ever led to any profound breakthroughs in science. Dr. Wells points out at the 4:32 minute mark of the following video, Darwinism has NOT contributed anything to science.
Dr. Wells is hardly alone. In spite of the fact that materialists/atheists like to claim evolution is indispensable to experimental biology and led the way to many breakthroughs in biology, in a article entitled “Evolutionary theory contributes little to experimental biology”, this expert author finds neo-Darwinism to be superfluous.
The late Dr. Skell is not alone in his analysis of the superfluous, ‘narrative gloss’, nature of Darwin’s theory
Even the staunch atheist Francis Crick, co-discoverer of DNA, agrees that Darwinism does not guide biological research, (apparently not even his own research in helping discover the structure of DNA),
At the 7:00 minute mark of this following video, Dr. Behe gives an example of how positive evidence is almost always falsely attributed to evolution by using the word ‘evolution’ as a ‘narrative gloss’ in peer-reviewed literature:
Here are a few more examples of Darwinists falsely attributing positive evidence to evolution, i.e. as a ‘narrative gloss’,,
Moreover, Darwinism is useless for medical diagnostics as well:
In fact, as to the somewhat minor extent evolutionary reasoning has influenced medical diagnostics, it has led to much ‘medical malpractice’ in the past:
Whereas, on the other hand, ID is ‘a driver of science’, instead of being merely a ‘theologically based narrative gloss’, or even ‘useless baggage’, as neo-Darwinism has been and currently is:
Given that we are completely accidental, I’m not sure where the reverence part comes in.
Come on guys! Bill is the science guy you know.
Don’t question science!
If anyone knows, it should be Bill Nye the Science Guy!
nye agreed to the biggest audience YEC ever got for our views. So he is respected for this by YEC.
I understand he had a great science show as Ken Ham said and watched.
He is some kind of mechanic I think but understands basics.
so a jack of trade but master of none.
he is wrong and too easily accepts ideas in subjects not open to real science investigation.
origin matters are about past and gone events.
not present working processes unless they can show it.
