Bill NyeEvolution is one of the most powerful and important ideas ever developed in the history of science. Every question it raises leads to new answers, new discoveries, and new smarter questions.

Bill NyePeople confuse the word cynicism with the word skepticism. One is โyouโre not gonna pay attention to anything, think everythingโs screwed up, nothingโs ever gonna work out rightโ, thatโs cynicism. But skepticism is, โyouโre presented with evidence and you do your best to draw conclusions based on thatโ. So, as the saying goes, Bill Nye, do you believe in ghosts?

It is an astonishing thing that we are โ you and I are one of the ways the universe knows itself.
