Undeniable

Posted on by

Sparked by a provocative comment to BigThink.com last fall, and fueled by a highly controversial debate with Creation Museum curator Ken Ham, Bill Nye s campaign to confront the scientific shortcoming of creationism has exploded in just a few months into a national crusade In this book, he expands the points he has made, and claims that this debate is not so much about religion versus science, as about the nature of science itself With infectious enthusiasm, he reveals the mechanics of evolutionary theory, explains how it is rooted in the testable and verifiable scientific method, and why it is therefore a sound explanation of our beginning He argues passionately that to continue to assert otherwise, to continue to insist that creationism has a place in the science classroom is harmful not only to our children, but to the future of the greater world as well.

teaching science He read the book himself did a great job.The book evolved from the work he did in preparing for his debate with Ken Hamm, a Creationist who believes the world is only 6000 years old I

get the bad news out of the way What is it with a comma before the word because Really, c mon, stop it please And that is the only thing wrong with this book Seriously, a comma before because Nye s

about evolution around the world and other scientific research into the origins of life I listened to this on audio, which was mostly enjoyable One minor quibble is that Bill Nye has a goofy sense of humor, and his frequent complaints about a former boss got a bit annoying Other than that, I would recommend this book to anyone wanting a good I picked up Bill Nye s book because I wanted to surround

inflections help to communicate his intent behind the text as only the author can deliver with authenticity Not only is the science presented in an easy to digest format, but it is laid out logically

brand of creationism And most of these arguments were well covered in his excellent debate with Ham I d recommend watching the YouTube video of their debate instead of reading this book.Most of the

into this book, I was really hoping for a fun, interesting read I mean, it s Bill Nye But, as per my rating, I was incredibly disappointed On numerous occasions, I found Nye to be quite rude, especially to those readers who believe in biblical creationism Just because they don t believe in what you believe, doesn t mean you can be blatantly rude to their personal belief system Next, I was hoping to find detailed accounts of the process of evolution of animals, pl...OK, so I haven t actually read the whole thing yet but I can t keep this on my currently reading shelf forever I m reading it one chapter at a time with breaks in between As good as it is, as easy to understand as Nye makes everything, it s still a science book which makes for a bit of dry reading If you can get this as an audiobook, I would highly suggest doing so.I ve been a fan of Nye since Bill Nye the Science Guy was on TV He s on my short list of favorite scientists He makes very comp OK, so I haven t actually
