Bill Nye says in a new online
video entitled “Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children” that the United States’ continued belief in the Biblical origin of man is what is keeping the country back and further, making the world “fantastically complicated if you don’t believe in evolution.”
It makes you miss the days of yore when all Nye, in his zany bow-ties, talked about were such topics as gravity and the three states of matter. But alas, with him being a scientist and all, this was surely coming.
"I say to the grownups, if you want to deny evolution and live in your world, that's completely inconsistent with the world we observe, 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 engineers that can build stuff and solve problems," he said.
Earlier this summer, Gallup reported that 46 percent of Americans believe in creationism, a figure that really hasn’t changed in 30 years, when back in 1982, 44 percent of Americans believed God created humans as we know them today.
