"Bill Nye ‘the Science Guy’ released a book last week, in which he lambasts the biblical creation view and proclaims that the scientific evidence for evolution is incontrovertible.
As previously reported, Nye squared off with Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis earlier this year in a
creation-evolution debate that was viewed by millions. Nye later declared that Ham’s creation beliefs are “bad for humankind,” then asserted that even if he ends up “going to Hell,” it still will not prove a young earth.
Now Nye has again waded into the creation-evolution controversy by releasing a new book entitled “Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation.” In the book, “the Science Guy” touts the many alleged scientific proofs for Darwin’s theory, contending that evolution is “the most meaningful creation story that humans have ever found.”
In an interview last week with the New York Times, Nye said he would love to get his book into the hands of young children before they fully accept the creation worldview.
“My biggest concern about creationist kids is that they’re compelled to suppress their
common sense, to suppress their critical thinking skills at a time in human history when we need them more than ever,” he asserted. “By the time you’re 18, you’ve made up your mind. … But if you’re 7 or 8, we got a shot.”
Nye addresses the subject of death in his book, admitting that he does have a fear of death. Nevertheless, he believes death is integral to the evolutionary process.
“[Death is] the key,” he told the publication. “The key is that you can pass on improvements by having kids. And there aren’t enough resources for any population to go completely unchecked, whether the population is humans or crickets. There isn’t enough for everybody, so you compete. And this is one of Darwin’s enormous insights.” ChristianNewsNetwork

And further, by these, my son, be admonished:
of making many books there is no end;
and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
