Bill Nye the Science Guy

about the next day at school. One of these shows in particular which was influential to our learning had to do with science. The show was Bill Nye the Science Guy. While we unintentionally learned while watching TV we always seemed to have fun and talk about the latest show. Since that show, Bill Nye has always let it be known that we should know or find out the facts to various science related fields. He has been very outspoken the last few years on the effects of climate change and his…

In 2014, science communicator Bill Nye “The Science Guy”, and fundamentalist Ken Ham debate took place in Petersburg, Kentucky at the Creation Museum. CNN’s Tom Foreman takes a stand at the podium before introducing the two debaters to the audience in the crowd, as well as to the viewers who are watching it at home. During the debate, many subtopics are brought up, branching from the main question, “Is creation a viable model of origins in today’s modern scientific era?” The topic of…

Everything you need to know about in this weekly: An infographic on hot and cold in the universe, scientists create a robo-stingray that has more to offer than realized, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bill Nye team up to explain climate change, and an amazing stunt that has to be seen to be believed (and then seen again because WOW).

Unsurprisingly, many creationists and creation scientists are against the teaching of evolution in schools. For example, extreme creationist Jack Wellman, a Christian author who holds a BA in history as well as degrees in science and education, claims that evolution cannot be validated as factual because it cannot be proven (Wellman). He argues that since evolution cannot be observed in a lab, it cannot be confirmed, making it merely a theory. Also, he argues that there are no “transitional…

I greatly enjoy science, particularly biology and environmental science since I was little. I remembered when I did my first science experiment in elementary school. The data collection of the different environment that the monarch butterfly evolution pace was the most exciting moment of my life. I got to see a type of species go from a little caterpillar to a full grown butterfly, which drew me into science. After that experience, I started to questions why, why does this butterfly change into…

Beyonce Knowles sparked controversy with the release of her self-titled album as it features a song that focuses on feminism, “***Flawless”. The song includes a section of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's TED Talk, “We Should All Be Feminists”, in which she talks about the differences in the social structure of a woman's and a man's life. While men are taught they can do or be anything, women must make choices in life “always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important”. Beyonce's mention of…

I am convinced that the topic at hand is of great significance. In fact, as I prepared to draft this article it became clearer to me that this issue is far more paramount than I ever realized. With that stated, it occurred to me that when the question of how life began on our planet is raised, the theory of evolution dominants academia. That is to say, the modern translation of Darwin’s theory of evolution is regarded above all other possible suppositions when pertaining to our academic models.…

He has become one of the most popular figures in the science community. In his quote, Nye is talking about climate change, which is a change in global or regional climate patterns such as a change in temperature of a region. Climate change is one of…
