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. Youre not paying attention to whats happening in the universe around you.
Bill NyeFrom an evolutionary standpoint you can't just wipe everything out and start over, and I don't think you can do it in the school system either.
Bill NyeScience is the key to our future, and if you donโt believe in science, then youโre holding everybody back. And itโs fine if you as an adult want to run around pretending or claiming that you donโt believe in evolution, but if we educate a generation of people who donโt believe in science, thatโs a recipe for disaster. We talk about the Internet. That comes from science. Weather forecasting. That comes from science. The main idea in all of biology is evolution. To not teach it to our young people is wrong.
