In a clip posted to online knowledge forum Big Think via YouTube, former children’s show host Bill Nye spoke out against the denial of evolution, saying such views harm young people especially and hamper scientific progress.
Nye, who hosted the educational show “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” which aired on PBS Kids from 1993 through 1998, made the statements in a clip posted online on Thursday, and has since been viewed over one million times. In the clip, Nye praises the United States for its contribution to technological innovation, but says that the denial of evolution is unique to the country.
“People still move to the United States. And that’s largely because of the intellectual capital we have, the general understanding of science,” Nye said in the clip. “When you have a portion of the population that doesn’t believe in that, it holds everybody back, really....
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
"People still move to the United States. And that’s largely because of the intellectual capital we have, the general understanding of science."
Nye may know some science & engineering, but not history. Liberty & economic opportunity, not science, is a more plausible reason why most folks have immigrated here. Besides, there was plenty of scientific advancement in 18th- and 19th-century Europe, even before Darwin.
And one could just as easily argue that a scientifically-ignorant nation would actually attract inventors & scientists. Nicola Tesla got his education in Europe, but introduced his inventions in an America not yet permeated with Darwinism.
"Nye made a three-stop tour through New Hampshire earlier this summer to tout President Obama’s education policies while making a push for science and engineering programs. He has endorsed Obama’s reelection bid"
The evolutionist and the Liberal - Now that is a combination and a half???
Did Liberalism evolve from evolutionism? Could be! They are both completely ignorant of the truth.
Then there is Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear"
This proves that faith is a gift (Eph 2:8) - and not an inherent natural faculty of the mortal.
However Liberals, such as dear old Barack, will dispute this and say its all about human intellectual assent to a good idea from somewhere in the Bible, maybe!
The evolutionist will declare that everything came from the big bang somewhere out in the vacuum that is space a very long time ago.
The Liberal then believes with something which doesn't exist and believes in something which does not exist, except in their imagination.
The evolutionist believes in a science which does not exist and believes in something which does not exist, except in their speculative hypothesis.
Congruent Similarities!!!
