Sull'Autore

William Sanford "Bill" Nye, popularly known as Bill Nye the Science Guy, is an American science educator, television host, writer and scientist. He was born on November 27, 1955 in Washington, D. C. He graduated from Sidwell Friends School in 1973 and went on to attend Cornell University, where he mostra altro took an astronomy class taught by Carl Sagan. Nye graduated from Cornell with a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering in 1977. He began his career at Boeing, where among his other roles, he starred in training films. His start in professional entertainment came as a writer/actor on a local sketch comedy television show in Seattle, Washington, called Almost Live! His main recurring role was as "The Science Guy" and consisted of his performing scientific demonstrations. He then appeared in live-action segments of Back to the Future: The Animated Series, during which he again demonstrated science. The segments' national popularity led to his hosting an educational program, Bill Nye the Science Guy, from 1993 to 1998. In addition to hosting, he was a writer and producer on the show. Nye wrote numerous books as "The Science Guy", including: Bill Nye the Science Guy's Great Big Book of Tiny Germs, Bill Nye the Science Guy's Great Big Dinosaur Dig, Bill Nye the Science Guy's Big Blue Ocean Bill Nye the Science Guy's Big Blast of Science, and Everything All at Once: How to Unleash Your Inner Nerd, Tap into Radical Curiosity and Solve Any Problem. Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation is his most recent work. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra meno

I've spent the last few years reading a number of books by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and coming from that background there's not a whole lot new science brought to the table in Undeniable, outside of a nugget here or there. What Nye does provide here is his own lovable brand of enthusiasm, humor, and a background as a science educator that was so compelling in his show Bill Nye: The Science Guy. Bill touches often on his own debate with creationist whacko Ken Ham and spends some time refuting creationism, but even more time laying out some easily understood arguments for evolution. From there he moves into what our understanding of evolution and biology adds to current social debates around GMO's, stem cells, etc. and finishes with an inspired and inspiring few chapters about the search for life, its origins and the future of our species and its place in the universe. Bill is undoubtedly a hero of mine and I've been so happy to see his reemergence into our culture and our country's scientific and political dialogue.… (altro)

Ok, I get it, you had a debate with Ken Ham. The repetition got pretty annoying.

There were also a large amount cringe-y gendered jokes that rubbed me the wrong way.

The GMO and singularity positions were a bit unexpected.

Other than that the content was good, and the delivery was enjoyable and made me a bit nostalgic for the old show.

The first time I tried listening to this, I was really put off. I felt it was smug and kind of stupid. I tried again, got through the Hamm-debate chapter, and then the book really started to pick up and get kind of interesting. The audiobook is read by Bill Nye himself; he can not do any sort of regional or national accent and he should not have tried.
