You Go Bill Nye!

Any scientist who can make science fun is a rare breed.  Any scientist who also speaks out for the sciences is even more rare.  Recently Nye had this to say about parents wishing there children be removed from the discussion of evolution, "And I say to the grownups, if you want to deny evolution and live in your world, in your world that's completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe, that's fine, but don't make your kids do it because we need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future. We need people that can - we need engineers that can build stuff, solve problems. "It's just really a hard thing, it's really a hard thing. You know, in another couple of centuries that world view, I'm sure, will be, it just won't exist. There's no evidence for it."

 

So true...
