I’m trying to save the world here, people!” says Nye, which will be fully documented in his next book, Unstoppable: Science to Change the World, that’s planned to be released later this year.įor the Fall 2015 issue of Resource Magazine themed “The Future,” we teamed up with Nye to discover the role of image-making in the progression of the human race, and how it can be leveraged to solve global issues. “ I want everybody to get to work on mitigating climate change and making it less of a problem for future generations. Most recently, Nye’s turned his focus to climate change, which he believes is the greatest threat to humanity today. Many times, he has made scientific contributions to space exploration, such as his development of a small sundial that was included in the Mars Exploration Rover missions in the early-2000s, not to mention the time he spent as Vice President of the Planetary Society from 2005 to 2010. There was his 2014 debate with Ken Ham where he shed light on the facts of creationism, which coincided with the release of his book, Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation. The views expressed are those of the author(s) and are not necessarily those of Scientific American.Though once known as the loveable “Science Guy” on his ’90s PBS show, Bill Nye has spent much of his career trying to change the world. If you missed the original debate, you can watch it here. It might also help you get a date on a Saturday night.

It is also the most meaningful creation story that humans have ever found."-Bill Nye The science of evolution is as expansive as nature itself. Every question it raises leads to new answers, new discoveries, and new smarter questions. "Evolution is one of the most powerful and important ideas ever developed in the history of science. Luckily for us, Bill Nye is the narrator! It is also available on audio, and just out today is a brief excerpt. No matter your stance on whether Bill should have engaged in the original debate or not, this book is a very appropriate follow-up and a terrific gift idea for those who might need a primer in how science looks at the world. Undeniable is written in a very friendly and engaging style with brief chapters in response to those questions.
Bill Nye's new book, available as of November 4th, is written directly to answer the questions posed by creationists, and is a follow-up to the Nye/Ham debate from February 2014.
