Summary from Goodreads:
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.
Review:
I grew up watching Bill Nye the Science Guy and loving everything that I learned. Over the past year, I've been searching out more answers than just what my Christian upbringing has taught me. I've come to find out that other opinions were looked down on and dismissed as wrong and evil, without even knowing what these opinions are based on.
Bill Nye has a wonderful way of simplifying the science behind the subject in this book so everyone can understand. He tells his facts, without throwing others opinions under the bus. It is important to know all sides of a subject, even creation/big bang to know what you believe.
I loved diving into how the universe began, and challenging my own beliefs. Definitely a worthy read.
