Bill Nye: Science Guy

Agenda-driven show.

Any scientist that says science is determined by consensus isn't a scientist. Science is determined by facts.

Any scientist that says "The science is in, the discussion is over" isn't a scientist. A scientist abides by the "Scientific Method". By definition, any hypothesis continues to modify, due to further observation, testing and experimentation.

Bill was good at explaining some novice science to children, but fails outside of that venue.

I really enjoyed Bill Nye:Science Guy. I remember watching his tv show and enjoying his enthusiasm for science. It's good to know he hasn't lost that enthusiasm over the years and that he is still teaching what he loves, just on a different stage. The documentary was very well done. I liked that they included his opponents and skeptics as well as other scientists who share the same, not belief, but like-mindedness as Bill. Excellent job!

I really enjoyed this film because of its thoughtful insight into Bill Nye's life and his goal of making the world a better place. It could have been so dry, like many biographies, but instead it was filled with personal interactions and unexpected peeks into his thinking process. It shows the best of science in action and the respectful way he tries to persuade science doubters of the important truths of our age.

In addition, the photography and editing were beautifully done. Bravo! Good job!

Some of the reviews on here are scary, and it makes me wonder why these people would watch this in the first place, since they are clearly going in not believing in science. One of them said space doesn't exist and there's no way to prove it does. This is the reason Bill Nye works to change peoples minds and fight with those that deny climate change, because at the rate some are fighting knowledge and critical thinking, we'll get to that point where Idiocracy comes true. Being an actor and being a scientist aren't mutually exclusive, just like having faith in god and believing in evolution aren't. He comes right out and says he doesn't have a PhD and that's why he goes to talk to experts on the ground doing the work.

Bill Nye is retiring his children's show in a bid to become more like his late teacher, astronomer Carl Sagan. Sagan dreamed of launching a spacecraft that could revolutionize interplanetary exploration. Bill sets out to fulfill Sagan's mission, but is sidelined when he is challenged by opponents of evolution and climate change to uphold the scientific consensus. Can Bill show the world why science matters in a culture increasingly indifferent to evidence?

American science education television show created by Bill as a fictionalized version of himself, aired from 1993-99, won 19 Emmys, Studies have found regular viewers were more capable of generating inspiration and extensions of scientific ideas than non-scientists -spectators... And to think that nowadays he has to fight against the anti-sciences, that there are even museums that encourage creationist theory, is as bizarre as it is absurd...
