There a whole bunch of 'scientists' out there. A lot of them have very invalid theories, and just because they are 'scientists', doesn't mean you should believe whatever they say or tell you to do. There are some very smart people out there and very smart scientists, but there are also the ones who just make up stuff and get people worked up over it and get people to believe it, because "they are a scientist, they know what they're talking about!"

I liked that global warming documentary he did a while back. I did too. Not sure if some of the people in this thread liked it though

Prove this. Those are "panels" of scientists, not all of science as a whole.

Bill nye is a p smart guy from what ive seen, and equating his intelligence to his degree isn't a strong argument for whether or not he's capable in his field.
i mean bill o reilly went to harvard but it didn't help him much [badum-tss]

(^^^ books he's published)
so i mean..... as hugely controversial as bill nye is i don't think he ever actually claimed to be A Scientist(TM) of any kind. he demonstrated stuff he already knew about to kids in a simple way that just about everyone can do and it looks like he involves himself in a lot of science that overlaps w social issues. so

I mean u guys are right but are you not remembering wandering in from recess and seeing a clunky old tv on a cart and knowing u were gonna have a good time
and when ur older everybody's pretending they aren't still amused by his lame jokes but we were all totally still amused
he's more a teacher than a scientist, tho

i dont value Bill Nye's expertise over other scientists, but.. .. generally most scientists have the same views, and they're the ones doing the research and collecting the data, so im more inclined to believe them ??
besides, bill nye has built practically his whole life around science, so sorry, but he is kind of an 'expert of science god'

They always have different opinions on how research should have been conducted, variants, input variables, etc. it's just that most of the stuff we common folk hear about is what they've already agreed on, but most of their disagreements we don't really hear about
teaching science is not the same as being an expert scientist. someone who has a wide general knowledge of different sciences is not as reliable as someone who concentrates in a particular type.

im screaming we are trivializing bill nye the science guy im actually crying
no but in all seriousness, i just find him amusing even if i dont worship his feet its probably because i grew up watching his videos in science class because it meant i either write down 10 facts or just fall asleep on my binder

literally who ever said he was a genius...like he did a lot of good and educated a lot of kids and seems to be passionate about education so who honestly cares??? why denigrate him unless he's done something wrong??? this thread is bad

I never watched Bill Nye but I appreciate his role in his world as a neutral good science educator
