Bill Nye

If you're an adult and you choose not to believe in science, fine, but please don't prevent your children from learning about it and letting them draw their own conclusions.

I like to regard myself as someone who's capable of critical thought, that is to say, who can evaluate claims.

NASA is an engine of innovation and inspiration as well as the world's premier space exploration agency, and we are well served by politicians working to keep it that way, instead of turning it into a mere jobs program, or worse, cutting its budget.

Everyone, red state, blue state, everyone supports space exploration.

You stop planetary exploration, those people who do that extraordinary work are going to have to go do something else.

Unlike science, creationism cannot predict anything, and it cannot provide satisfactory answers about the past.

I've got no problem with anybody's religion. But if you go claiming the Earth is only 10,000 years old, that's just wrong.

If you have this idea that the earth is only 6,000 years old, you are denying, if you will, everything that you can touch and see. You're not paying attention to what's happening in the universe around you.

If NASA is to reach beyond the Moon and someday reach Mars, it must be relieved of the burden of launching people and cargo to low earth orbit. To do that, we must invest more in commercial spaceflight.

If the Earth gets hit by an asteroid, it's game over. It's control-alt-delete for civilization.

If you look back on all the teachers that you liked, I am sure you will find they were very entertaining.

After I had this idea to be Bill Nye the Science Guy, I wore straight ties the first couple times, and then I got this thing going and I started wearing bow ties.
