Bill Nye was the perfect way for an ADD-ridden child like myself to learn science. So many new things happening all the time, it kept my attention hard core.

@nistevenHere is one reason out of many. The big bang theory. If somthing explodes it does not come back together. You can not creat orginization out of caous. Also it's like taking two eggs, flour, water, and a camp fire putting it in a corner and whatching it become a cake.

@SgtPwnzor1 your just too naive or uneducated to know how real it is. 60% of americans believe in evolution.. . thats tells you it's not just an atheist position
before the sun was made. that was the creation of time.

DNA/RNA is the catalog of which creation was 1st to the last.(vs-vs) all of this is subject to time. a split sec. in time = another creation. like the development of a photograph.

@perpetualmotion100 Which creation account in Genesis should he read? The one starting at Genesis 1:1? Or the one starting in Genesis 2:4? There are two accounts, you know, likely written by two separate authors. They're very different, too. Maybe YOU should read it.

@mikezzknight Thank you for understanding I am also interested in science. I am a Christan and think the theory eveloution is stupid. I have a list of reasons why eveloution is wrong.
Came here expecting comments from young minds (after all, that is Bill's target audience) exploring and being interested in the biological processes which resulted in life. Instead, it's just a bunch of circle-jerking atheists. For a social group that claims a passion for science, you seem to spend a lot of time talking about religion. In fact, the only people who talk about religion as much as you do -- are religious people.
@Bozoboi3 I'm not 100% sure, but I think the reason Atheists are so outspoken on YT and the internet in general, is because it's very hard to be an outspoken Atheist in public. All of my family and every one of my friends are very strict Christians and would have no problem disowning me if I ever came out as a non-believer. And I think that's the case with a lot of Atheists. Maybe not quite as bad, but at least here you can speak your mind without being scolded.
@autisticblog Because Bill Nye is a scientist. In the scientific community it is widely accepted that something HAS to come from somewhere. That being said creation is a faith driven theory for where everything comes from. Neither is right or wrong because neither has been proven. This is a science show for kids, not a sunday school program.
I remember seeing this episode when I was about 11 or 12. I still look back on it as what planted the seed for my eventual understanding of the world--and the universe--in ways that my family's religion never fully could...at least not without huge leaps of faith and ignoring what seemed to be obvious logic.
@autisticblog Think about it this way: would you support "open minded comparison" between medical science and magic spells/faith healing in medical school because there is no shortage of people out there who honestly believe in that stuff?
Evolution through Natural Selection (that last bit being Darwin's true contribution) is a theory surrounded by an innumerable pieces of factual data. if one understands the foundations of empirical study, one would know the hierarchy -- a field unknown completely to apologists for the literal veracity of the bible. True, creation is hypothetical, and it will never rise above this state.
People who believe in evolution think they are smart, but if you think deeply enough about it. NONE of it makes a hint of logical sense. Acceptance makes sense, but when you take the theory head n and ask questions it has yet to answer, it falls apart totally. The atheists just don't want to account for how they live their lives so they convince themselves of the complex lie.
@SunnyLovetts It makes quite a bit of logical sense, so I'm not sure what you mean. Further, simply because there are questions it hasn't answered YET doesn't mean the answers won't be found SOMEDAY. To assume that we have to know everything about everything from the get-go is just silly.
Yes, you're right there are some holes in our understanding of Evolution that make it so that one should completely disregard the evidence of said theory and instead insert a completely contradictory, unproven, system of faith that cajoles us into sacrificing all of our questions, discoveries, and capacity for logical thought at the altar of comfortable assumption.
@jcwkings77 The tea party has nothing specifically to do with science, nor evolution. If you CARED about facts and reality, you'd know that.
But you don't, it seems. I suppose this video is good for you- teach you to think and develop ideas logically, rather than making sensationalist comments like the movement you just attempted to berate and mock.
Holy shit. So this is where my idea for moss milk came from. My mom never let me do it, because it was "gross", but thankfully, she never stopped me from watching such an amazing show. It had such a massive, scientific effect on me. I look back, and quoting Carl Sagan, who is now my hero, is so awesome. Thank you, Bill.
In the early 19th century, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck believed that the giraffe's long neck was an "acquired characteristic", developed as generations of ancestral giraffes strived to reach the leaves of tall trees. This theory was eventually rejected, and scientists now believe that the giraffe's neck arose through Darwinian natural selection—that ancestral giraffes with long necks thereby had a competitive advantage that better enabled them to reproduce and pass on their genes. - Giraffe Wiki
@piratedancer324 this is cramming a belief into thee fragile mind of a child, the very thing creationists are blamed for! you can't teach religion in school but you can teach evolution. that is a complete contradiction. they either need to teach ALL religions or NO religions, evolution included.
@ikwhereyoulive00 Belief: An opinion or conviction, confidence in the truth or existence of something not immediately susceptible to rigorous proof.
Scientific Theory: A set of (falsifiable) principles that explain and predict phenomena.
Science doesn't teach people to believe in certainty. It only teaches what we have observed, and what models we have developed to fit with the corresponding data. By rejecting unfounded or contradictory theories science is the opposite of religion.
@PsychoSnowMan i am not speaking out of the dictionary, i say belief as in it is something you believe in. and i said evolution not science. i know what science is. volution on the other hand is STILL a theory and has changed ALOT in the past years. besides, what are you gaining with evolution?. nothing to look forward to. fin. you can have your evolution. but i am not losing anything by living a christian life. i am gaining things. it's just too bad you don't see it
Evolution is both a theory and a scientific fact. The crux of the matter and why we trust theories which change over time is the way they change.
Some people like to say Newtonian physics is wrong, because it cannot account for objects traveling at extreme speeds. This is rather melodramatic. Newton’s equations provide a very good approximation for all the kinds of motion we see day to day. For anyone alive before rocketry, the entire universe could be described by those laws.
However, once we started launching objects into space we had to deal with much higher speeds and we found that Newtonian mechanics didnt give quite the right answer anymore. They were refined by Einstein to take the speed of light as a limit into account.
Newton’s equations work just as well as Einstein’s for predicting motion on an every day scale. The latter can also predict movement of objects moving at up to the speed of light, which is an improvement, but not a re-write.
As better technology allows us to investigate phenomena on different scales, we have often found that our old methods were not as universal they seemed to be. When scientific theories are updated, they aren’t flip-flopping, they are becoming more precise.
@ikwhereyoulive00 "I am not speaking out of the dictionary" Yeah, man! Screw facts... Let me ask you... evolution minus what gives you science? How are the two decoupled? Anything that is supported by scientific observation, experimentation, and peer review (gravity, evolution, the Earth being round) is a theory. It is a theory because it is falsifiable, testable, and potentially observable- everything that religion is not! This is what actual science is my friend.
@Shaboynka The most concerning thing is your blatant inability to accept evidence. You even make it clear that you aren't willing to accept it. You have the false impression that you have to gain from something for it to be true. The truth is not preferentially beneficial to you! If you are a true intellectual, a human with any desire to understand hard evidence and think freely, you will understand that knowledge doesn't come easy, it could be inconvenient, and overcoming this will make you
@Shaboynka more respectable and worthy of being a member of the human race who uses our brains, our beautiful inherited gifts, to help advance the knowledge of our species and improve our world.
@Shaboynka what makes free thought useful? how does that help anyone. If i believed that it was "helping" people when you killed them, then why am i wrong? i'm not. society says i'm wrong. our morals are influenced by people around us media and our family. how much "free" thought do you have? none of us can have free thought. we are already biased by the people around us. i will always have the doubt in my head saying i can't fly, why? because so many people told m i couldn't.
@Shaboynka you disregard religion because it can't be proven with facts?? why the hll do we need facts? we don't it is just modern thought like before when they didn't need "evidence" they believed in things without it. what makes us need evidence? we don't that's just how we think these days.
@ikwhereyoulive00 "Why the hell do we need facts?" You realize that fact is synonymous with reality right? "Modern thought?" You're defeating yourself with your own words. I have no idea where you're from, but in this point in time people are more skeptical than ever before. Nobody believes without seeing (except you and your kind), and a thing called rationality forces intelligent people to see the world with caution. Fact means certainty, I hope you know that.
@Shaboynka i see you are starting to do what everyone who gives up does. you run to your corner and try and pick out little errors because you are to scared to face me.
and i figured you would be smart enough to understand that i meant scientific evidence. i know what a fact is. a fact is something that can be tested and proven (it's in the dictionary) and modern thought REQUIRES fact and evidence. i did not contradict myself in anyway shape or form. re-read my text please.
@ikwhereyoulive00 Well dern... ya' got me! 1) A FACT is not something that can be tested and proven. A fact does not need to be tested, it just IS. However, you would have been correct had you replaced fact with theory. Look up the scientific definition- it's testeable, potentially observable, and *very important* FASIFIABLE. So you say "what makes us need evidence? We don't that's just how we think these days." Okay... then you say "modern though REQUIRES fact and evidence..."
@ikwhereyoulive00 No you dumbass. If you give me contradictory expressions, I'm not avoiding argument. I'm making sue you know you're a retard so you know your pllace in the argument. And that's not just a little technicality.
Teaching science in school is not teaching a belief. It is teaching what science has evidence for, and what it has yet to falsify (evidence and falsifiabiity once again being hugely important). That is the biggest distinction between teaching science and reigion. It is
@Shaboynka in no way brainwashing like religion. Parents don't force their kids to watch Bill Nye... but they make them go to church, and structure family life around the teaching of the book. THAT's brainwashing, not even giving kids a chance. You don't even have to believe in evolution- much is to be learned just about the scientific processes, experimentation, and critical thinking skills that lead to the theory as it stands today.
@Shaboynka so you would rather be living on the streets then living with brainwashing parents? parents don't brainwash but do what they think is right for their child. then once 18, the child can do almost anything he/she wants. and what 4-10 year old child knows what is best for them. and this is coming from an 18 year old
@mattpoop614 I can't say whether I would or not because life is not a false dichotomy. And if parents think that making their kid grow up with [insert religion here] is what is right for them, they are still in fact brainwashing (but instead of subliminal messaging or appeals to emotion, a child's impressionable mind is the medium, much in the same way we acclimate to a culture during infancy/ youth, learn to speak, and are toothfairy eligible). And this is from an almost 20 year old.
@Shaboynka true, but what can the child do? brainwashing or not, no child knows whether they want a religion or to become an atheist. i have seen some kids at around ages of 10 who are force feed Christianity and then become atheists, or simply not a christian or other religions. but what ever a child is "brainwashed" with, will eventually go away, from the fact that the child will learn in the adult world. and make his/her own decisions and thus changing their world view.
@mattpoop614 Buddy, you realize that some 75% or 80% (probably more) of this country believes in Christianity right... almost 0% of these were individuals who were brought up in a secular household and after reaching adulthood decided that they believed in the Christian god. They carry what they've been taught for the duration of their lives in most cases. And age 10 is not nearly a child's most impressionable age, which is why Christian parents start way earlier than that.
@Shaboynka show me the research that proves your theory right, instead of just making up numbers on the top of your head. but what really matters is this; what can you do? you can't do shit to stop parents from "brainwashing" their kids. be the president and pass a law saying parents can't do that, but then you will be violating the parents right to practice religion. there is a religion in south miami where people kill goats as worship and congress allows them, its their rights
@mattpoop614 Actually, you would not be stopping their freedom of religion, they can still practice. They just could not destroy their children's mental capacities with nonsense. Children aren't able to make the distinction between a belief and facts when they are young, which makes them susceptible to brainwashing.
@pv2dhill even if children are susceptible to brainwashing, you have not answered my question. what can you do to stop kids from getting "brainwashed?" and the true answer, whether you like it or not, is NOTHING!! you have no right to stop a father from teaching his kid religion not even the govt can, it could be Hinduism, or Christianity, or Islam. unless you can prove that the father is beating his kid or doing other stuff, in the court of law, you cannot stop him.
@mattpoop614 the thing is with the constitution is that if you infringe on other peoples rights you lose certain rights yourself thats why even if it infringes on there ability to practice religion. somebody cant practice human sacrifice even for religion based reasons. this is how you could possibly pass a law saying that you cannot teach a child relgion untill a certain age because it infinges on there rights.
@prind666 supreme court have told certain religions they cannot do a certain thing. i.e. Mormons want more then 1 wife, they appeared in front of supreme court, and they said you can't do that. a religion in miami, the one that sacrifices goats, they recently stole bones from a local graveyard and went in front of supreme court and claimed they need the bones for worship. the supreme court said you can't do that. and what right do children have that religion infringes on?
@mattpoop614 I have no idea what previous conversation you had, but parents often brainwash their children. Unless you think that intense concentration on one specific content area, occuring with an immense amount of negative information about those who disagree, all while a child is imprinting, is brainwashing.
An 18 year old does not simply choose anything they want. They are a result of their upbringing. Everyone I've seen who went against this is extremely intelligent.
@Shaboynka haha i could give a fuck if they teach science, i have no problem with SCIENCE. evolution is my problem they pass it off as fact even though it is still a theory.
"the theory of evolution" and i never contradicted myself not once, show me how? please?
@ikwhereyoulive00 *couldn't give a fuck. Dude, you're trying to use terminology to prove a point, and you're using the terminology incorrectly- F minus. A theory is NOT a guess. You are the billionth person to try to use this shit argument, and you would have been the billionth to have been refuted.. but I'm done trying to reason with retards, look it up yourself, or better, go to school.
@ikwhereyoulive00 your confusing theory with scientific theory two completly different definitions. evolution is regarded by science as fact as is atomic theory and the theory of gravity everything in science that is outside of math can ONLY ever achieve the rank of theory.
Thumbs up if you didn't simply wait to see this in school, and actively watched the show on PBS.

I remember seeing this episode when I was about 11 or 12. I still look back on it as what planted the seed for my eventual understanding of the world--and the universe--in ways that my family's religion never fully could...at least not without huge leaps of faith and ignoring what seemed to be obvious logic.

@autisticblog Because Creation is still consider a hypothesis in the science community, because their not enough proof behind it yet.
However Evolution is a theory, and they only teach the public things that are on the theory lvl.
nisteven 2 weeks ago
Evolution through Natural Selection (that last bit being Darwin's true contribution) is a theory surrounded by an innumerable pieces of factual data. if one understands the foundations of empirical study, one would know the hierarchy -- a field unknown completely to apologists for the literal veracity of the bible. True, creation is hypothetical, and it will never rise above this state.

People who believe in evolution think they are smart, but if you think deeply enough about it. NONE of it makes a hint of logical sense. Acceptance makes sense, but when you take the theory head n and ask questions it has yet to answer, it falls apart totally. The atheists just don't want to account for how they live their lives so they convince themselves of the complex lie.
SunnyLovetts 1 month ago
@SunnyLovetts It makes quite a bit of logical sense, so I'm not sure what you mean. Further, simply because there are questions it hasn't answered YET doesn't mean the answers won't be found SOMEDAY. To assume that we have to know everything about everything from the get-go is just silly.
16Nire61 1 month ago
@SunnyLovetts
Yes, you're right there are some holes in our understanding of Evolution that make it so that one should completely disregard the evidence of said theory and instead insert a completely contradictory, unproven, system of faith that cajoles us into sacrificing all of our questions, discoveries, and capacity for logical thought at the altar of comfortable assumption.

Holy shit. So this is where my idea for moss milk came from. My mom never let me do it, because it was "gross", but thankfully, she never stopped me from watching such an amazing show. It had such a massive, scientific effect on me. I look back, and quoting Carl Sagan, who is now my hero, is so awesome. Thank you, Bill.

In the early 19th century, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck believed that the giraffe's long neck was an "acquired characteristic", developed as generations of ancestral giraffes strived to reach the leaves of tall trees. This theory was eventually rejected, and scientists now believe that the giraffe's neck arose through Darwinian natural selection—that ancestral giraffes with long necks thereby had a competitive advantage that better enabled them to reproduce and pass on their genes. - Giraffe Wiki

@piratedancer324 this is cramming a belief into thee fragile mind of a child, the very thing creationists are blamed for! you can't teach religion in school but you can teach evolution. that is a complete contradiction. they either need to teach ALL religions or NO religions, evolution included.
ikwhereyoulive00 1 month ago
@ikwhereyoulive00 Belief: An opinion or conviction, confidence in the truth or existence of something not immediately susceptible to rigorous proof.
Scientific Theory: A set of (falsifiable) principles that explain and predict phenomena.
Science doesn't teach people to believe in certainty. It only teaches what we have observed, and what models we have developed to fit with the corresponding data. By rejecting unfounded or contradictory theories science is the opposite of religion.
PsychoSnowMan 1 month ago 2
@PsychoSnowMan i am not speaking out of the dictionary, i say belief as in it is something you believe in. and i said evolution not science. i know what science is. volution on the other hand is STILL a theory and has changed ALOT in the past years. besides, what are you gaining with evolution?. nothing to look forward to. fin. you can have your evolution. but i am not losing anything by living a christian life. i am gaining things. it's just too bad you don't see it
ikwhereyoulive00 1 month ago
Evolution is both a theory and a scientific fact. The crux of the matter and why we trust theories which change over time is the way they change.
Some people like to say Newtonian physics is wrong, because it cannot account for objects traveling at extreme speeds. This is rather melodramatic. Newton’s equations provide a very good approximation for all the kinds of motion we see day to day. For anyone alive before rocketry, the entire universe could be described by those laws.
MagikosEksMaikhina 1 month ago
However, once we started launching objects into space we had to deal with much higher speeds and we found that Newtonian mechanics didnt give quite the right answer anymore. They were refined by Einstein to take the speed of light as a limit into account.
Newton’s equations work just as well as Einstein’s for predicting motion on an every day scale. The latter can also predict movement of objects moving at up to the speed of light, which is an improvement, but not a re-write.
MagikosEksMaikhina 1 month ago
As better technology allows us to investigate phenomena on different scales, we have often found that our old methods were not as universal they seemed to be. When scientific theories are updated, they aren’t flip-flopping, they are becoming more precise.

@ikwhereyoulive00 "I am not speaking out of the dictionary" Yeah, man! Screw facts... Let me ask you... evolution minus what gives you science? How are the two decoupled? Anything that is supported by scientific observation, experimentation, and peer review (gravity, evolution, the Earth being round) is a theory. It is a theory because it is falsifiable, testable, and potentially observable- everything that religion is not! This is what actual science is my friend.

@Shaboynka The most concerning thing is your blatant inability to accept evidence. You even make it clear that you aren't willing to accept it. You have the false impression that you have to gain from something for it to be true. The truth is not preferentially beneficial to you! If you are a true intellectual, a human with any desire to understand hard evidence and think freely, you will understand that knowledge doesn't come easy, it could be inconvenient, and overcoming this will make you

ikwhereyoulive00 3 weeks ago
@ikwhereyoulive00 "Why the hell do we need facts?" You realize that fact is synonymous with reality right? "Modern thought?" You're defeating yourself with your own words. I have no idea where you're from, but in this point in time people are more skeptical than ever before. Nobody believes without seeing (except you and your kind), and a thing called rationality forces intelligent people to see the world with caution. Fact means certainty, I hope you know that.
Shaboynka 3 weeks ago
@Shaboynka i see you are starting to do what everyone who gives up does. you run to your corner and try and pick out little errors because you are to scared to face me.
and i figured you would be smart enough to understand that i meant scientific evidence. i know what a fact is. a fact is something that can be tested and proven (it's in the dictionary) and modern thought REQUIRES fact and evidence. i did not contradict myself in anyway shape or form. re-read my text please.
ikwhereyoulive00 3 weeks ago
@ikwhereyoulive00 Well dern... ya' got me! 1) A FACT is not something that can be tested and proven. A fact does not need to be tested, it just IS. However, you would have been correct had you replaced fact with theory. Look up the scientific definition- it's testeable, potentially observable, and *very important* FASIFIABLE. So you say "what makes us need evidence? We don't that's just how we think these days." Okay... then you say "modern though REQUIRES fact and evidence..."

Teaching science in school is not teaching a belief. It is teaching what science has evidence for, and what it has yet to falsify (evidence and falsifiabiity once again being hugely important). That is the biggest distinction between teaching science and reigion. It is

@Shaboynka in no way brainwashing like religion. Parents don't force their kids to watch Bill Nye... but they make them go to church, and structure family life around the teaching of the book. THAT's brainwashing, not even giving kids a chance. You don't even have to believe in evolution- much is to be learned just about the scientific processes, experimentation, and critical thinking skills that lead to the theory as it stands today.
Shaboynka 3 weeks ago
@Shaboynka so you would rather be living on the streets then living with brainwashing parents? parents don't brainwash but do what they think is right for their child. then once 18, the child can do almost anything he/she wants. and what 4-10 year old child knows what is best for them. and this is coming from an 18 year old
mattpoop614 3 weeks ago
@mattpoop614 I can't say whether I would or not because life is not a false dichotomy. And if parents think that making their kid grow up with [insert religion here] is what is right for them, they are still in fact brainwashing (but instead of subliminal messaging or appeals to emotion, a child's impressionable mind is the medium, much in the same way we acclimate to a culture during infancy/ youth, learn to speak, and are toothfairy eligible). And this is from an almost 20 year old.
Shaboynka 3 weeks ago
@Shaboynka true, but what can the child do? brainwashing or not, no child knows whether they want a religion or to become an atheist. i have seen some kids at around ages of 10 who are force feed Christianity and then become atheists, or simply not a christian or other religions. but what ever a child is "brainwashed" with, will eventually go away, from the fact that the child will learn in the adult world. and make his/her own decisions and thus changing their world view.
mattpoop614 3 weeks ago
@mattpoop614 Buddy, you realize that some 75% or 80% (probably more) of this country believes in Christianity right... almost 0% of these were individuals who were brought up in a secular household and after reaching adulthood decided that they believed in the Christian god. They carry what they've been taught for the duration of their lives in most cases. And age 10 is not nearly a child's most impressionable age, which is why Christian parents start way earlier than that.
Shaboynka 3 weeks ago
@Shaboynka show me the research that proves your theory right, instead of just making up numbers on the top of your head. but what really matters is this; what can you do? you can't do shit to stop parents from "brainwashing" their kids. be the president and pass a law saying parents can't do that, but then you will be violating the parents right to practice religion. there is a religion in south miami where people kill goats as worship and congress allows them, its their rights
mattpoop614 3 weeks ago
@mattpoop614 Actually, you would not be stopping their freedom of religion, they can still practice. They just could not destroy their children's mental capacities with nonsense. Children aren't able to make the distinction between a belief and facts when they are young, which makes them susceptible to brainwashing.
pv2dhill 3 weeks ago
@pv2dhill even if children are susceptible to brainwashing, you have not answered my question. what can you do to stop kids from getting "brainwashed?" and the true answer, whether you like it or not, is NOTHING!! you have no right to stop a father from teaching his kid religion not even the govt can, it could be Hinduism, or Christianity, or Islam. unless you can prove that the father is beating his kid or doing other stuff, in the court of law, you cannot stop him.
mattpoop614 3 weeks ago
@mattpoop614 the thing is with the constitution is that if you infringe on other peoples rights you lose certain rights yourself thats why even if it infringes on there ability to practice religion. somebody cant practice human sacrifice even for religion based reasons. this is how you could possibly pass a law saying that you cannot teach a child relgion untill a certain age because it infinges on there rights.

@prind666 supreme court have told certain religions they cannot do a certain thing. i.e. Mormons want more then 1 wife, they appeared in front of supreme court, and they said you can't do that. a religion in miami, the one that sacrifices goats, they recently stole bones from a local graveyard and went in front of supreme court and claimed they need the bones for worship. the supreme court said you can't do that. and what right do children have that religion infringes on?
mattpoop614 2 weeks ago
@mattpoop614 I have no idea what previous conversation you had, but parents often brainwash their children. Unless you think that intense concentration on one specific content area, occuring with an immense amount of negative information about those who disagree, all while a child is imprinting, is brainwashing.
An 18 year old does not simply choose anything they want. They are a result of their upbringing. Everyone I've seen who went against this is extremely intelligent.
