  1. Bill Nye _ Undeniable: Evolution and the

    As I learned more about evolution, I realized that from nature's point of view, you and I ain't such a big deal.

  3. Bill Nye _ Undeniable: Evolution and the

    Try this way of picturing a human lifespan. The National Football League's Dallas Cowboys' stadium holds 105,000 people. Now, imagine that you're watching life go by down on the field, and every day you watch that life go by from a different seat. You don't even get a third of the way around. Before you've settled into a third of the seats, you'd be dead. And, that's if you had a good run, eighty-two-plus years. Yikes!

  7. Bill Nye _ Unstoppable: Harnessing

    We can become a great generation that leaves our world-our home-in better shape than it is now while raising the quality of life for people everywhere. This will not be easy. We've already loaded the atmosphere with enough heat-trapping gases of various kinds to cause our planet to keep warming for many, many years to come. But the situation is far from hopeless.

  10. Bill Nye _ Undeniable: Evolution and the

    Some of the most wonderful aspects and consequences of evolution have been discovered only recently. This is in stark contrast to creationism, which offers a static view of the world, one that cannot be challenged or tested with reason. And because it cannot make predictions, it cannot lead to new discoveries, new medicines, or new ways to feed all of us.

  12. Bill Nye _ Undeniable: Evolution and the

    When religions disagree about just creation, there is nothing to do but argue. When two scientists disagree about evolution, they confer with colleagues, develop theories, collect evidence, and arrive at a more complete understanding. Every question leads to new answers, new discoveries, and new smarter questions. The science of evolution is as expansive as nature itself.
