Bill Nye is so awesome for promoting science and critical thinking to kids and adults. The difference is kids haven't learned to be ignorant cunts yet, so this is the kind of reaction only adults would have.

I think you guys are ignorant... religion is touchy subject, some dont believe it like me but want it because it teaches people good core values. Here we have Bill Nye who is a really well known and respected guy, all about science... and what he did was spit in the face of religious people by quoting that whole religious shit and pronouncing the fact that god is incorrect!
It may be because Bill isnt that smart to realize what he did, or that he was clearly trolling or had some kind of agenda. End of story. Quote:

but odd that Nye would even bring that up.... since he's not speaking to elementary kids... he must have been trying to ruffle some feathers | He could pass for a good troll face.  | |

Bill Nye was not bashing religion, he was promoting the necessity of not accepting scripture at face value. The bible was not given to man by god, it was written by men who interpreted both oral and textual religious teachings and documented them in text. Man being fundamentally flawed, his interpretations are as well. That's an indisputable fact. The statement that the moon is a light emitting object is flawed, that is scientific fact. The religious idiot, Jerry Falwell, insists global warming is a myth, based on scripture. Raising the flawed statement that the moon is a light emitting object was simply citing precedence to support the argument that Falwell is an idiot, like most American Christians, who need to open their eyes and use their minds because the world is suffering as a result of a refusal to do so.

That all sounds good if you are on his litigation team to cover up his dumb ass, but you lack common sense to understand that what he said was a blow to religion coming from a well known TV scientist. You think elementary kids are going know he was "promoting the necessity of not accepting scripture at face value", no they are going to think science just pwned god and lose confidence in it.
p.s. if your avatar is a young man with implants, you have truly trolled RevScene.

i'm going to have to come out and say it.
fuck political correctness, fuck handling religions with gloves.
just because a bunch of dumb hicks are offended by things we can prove, because their beloved book said so. we have to pretend that it's ok?
fuck no.
SO what if bill nye came out and stomped on a bible, should we torch him?
no, because no one would care if i stomped on a comic book.
We should teach kids, logic, reasoning, good fundamental knowledge, and facts. Not a super jewish zombie that died and cameback from the dead 2000 years ago for sins he bestowed upon all people.

p.s. if your avatar is a young man with implants, you have truly trolled RevScene. | It's a pretty fucking simple concept that an elementary school aged child should be capable of comprehending and therefore taught alongside religion to give them a more complete and useful understanding of it, rather than endowing them with potentially flawed ideas. My favourite game in kindergarten was telephone, that simple game is based on and teaches the fact that meaning changes after multiple translations, with the founding idea sometimes being completely lost. The numerous different sects of all religions, including the extremists who have done such profound damage to Islam, are an example of the varying interpretations that result from a reading of a single founding text. Read archaic latin and hebrew scripture alongside the modern english translations, they're dramatically different but the modern english translations are taught and followed to the letter.
No, it is not a young man with implants. It's a gorgeous young woman who works out, not exactly a crazy idea.

Bill dissed religion in his speak, kids will think religion is flawed to follow. | Nye did not in any way put down religion, he simply stated that direct, unquestioned interpretations of scripture are not always entirely accurate, such as the moon being a light emitting satellite. That is not different than the differences between the varying interpretations of the bible offered by the branches of Christianity. Quote: |

| Then what do you suppose should be done?
Man's understand of the universe was in it's infancy at the time of the original Hebrew and Latin recordings of religious teachings, and remained that way at the time of the translations to English during the renaissance. God did not endow us with his divine knowledge, but did give us the power of reason and through that we advance. With advancement man has gained the understanding that the moon does not have the ability to emit light, so should we ignore that oversight and pretend it's the only one or accept that man and not god created through documentation religious scripture. Man does not possess the divine knowledge and understanding of God, we are flawed and all things we do are, so scripture inevitably is as well.

The provincial election just finished here in Alberta.
Alberta almost elected a premier who isn't convinced climate change is real. She believes that the science isn’t settled and we need to continue to monitor the debate in the scientific community.

If people were as dumb as CharlesInCharge and too scared to speak the truth regardless of who the audience is, then Science would have stopped in its track long time ago. You (i.e. CharlesInCharge) would still be living in stone-age and would not be entitled to the technology (derived from scientific knowledge) you use on a daily basis.
Ever heard of Galileo Galilei?
Here's a link to the wiki if you skipped middle school. Galileo Galilei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Quote:
Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy", the "father of modern physics", the "father of science", and "the Father of Modern Science".
...
Galileo's championing of heliocentrism was controversial within his lifetime, when most subscribed to either geocentrism or the Tychonic system.
...
He was tried by the Inquisition, found "vehemently suspect of heresy", forced to recant, and spent the rest of his life under house arrest.

BOOOOOOOO, YOU SUCK MINDBOMBER, STOP BELIEVING IN WHAT I DON'T BELIEVE~! 
That aside, you'd think that people would be open-minded to scientific interpretation, so some form of polite debate can occur. But nope, I guess you can't fix stupid.

If you have to get your moral values from a book and not from wanting just being a good person, you have to give your head a shake.
