Bill Nye Discusses Why We Must Keep Religion Out Of Science Books

[SecularMotion]

Today, the citizens of Texas will speak, as the board holds a public comment session. Realists and religionists (I made that word up, I don’t know what to call them that doesn’t sound pejorative.) will take to the microphone to express their opinion on including biblical information as a counter-argument to scientific theory. The Stand Up For Science Rally will be held outside the hearings.

Last evening, I happened to come across Bill Maher’s recent Real Time show on HBO. In it, Bill Nye the Science Guy took time out from his Dancing With The Stars adventure to discuss the Texas textbook controversy. He unabashedly gives his take on the evolution deniers’ efforts to put creation in science books.

Bill Nye was pointing out how withholding true science hurts America’s future, when I heard myself talking to the TV, saying. “You are never going to convert the crowd who think cavemen once had pet dinosaurs. You are talking to people who want to go backwards.”

2. I think this is something on which pretty much every one who frequents here can agree.
