Newsmax TV?? I don't believe in THAT shit. Prove to me it isn't something belched out of Satan's bunghole, hosted by evil demon imps. YOU CAN'T.

Everything is Awesome! (Obligatory link: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/wat..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StTqXEQ2l-Y)">https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Sad part is, that song was conceived as cutesy-sounding, ear-worm-y pop...with Orwellian tones. So it's like the most cutesy cartoon book promoting creationism.

Not a stinkin' chance. His bow ties are, to borrow the phrase, cool. Plus, whereas the Doctor had an almost pathological neatness to his, Nye's ties give the impression that you can go to hell if you dare talk smack about them. It's all in the casual lack of neatness--something I have yet to master myself.

Or, maybe not.

Just a couple of days ago I was talking to a quite bright 24-year-old piano player who had a hobbyist interest in older computers, and he did not recognize the term "semiconductor".

Although no one has ever asked me that question, I have pre-programmed myself to answer "Yes", and then move on. If my interlocutor then squawks, I plan to say "prove me wrong", and then wait to see what happens.

"Creationists" are just assholes who didn't want to study for their final exams but demanded a passing grade anyway. What's more simple minded than saying "god did it" to every question and defying someone to prove you wrong?

Sure beats the hell out of trying to remember all that Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. bull crap.

...well played Bill Nye! The same science that allows your cell phone to work, or connects you to the Internet or diagnosis you with cancer, also has determined that the world is not 10,000 years old.

-When your car breaks down, you take it to a mechanic not a church -when you are sick you go to a doctor not a church -When your computer has a virus you take it to a computer programmer not a church

So why the fuck do these dumb asses insist that we should take scientific theories from the same group of people who thought world was the center of the universe and was flat?!? The <strong>CONGITIVE DISCONANCE</strong> (or ignorance) required to push these beliefs is almost dumbfounding!

But if you sincerely believe in all that crap, doesn't that kinda make it legally okay?
