Description: 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.
Oh, how good it is to re-acquaint with this stuff and Mr Nye is enthusiasm that has just taken a belt of dentist gas. If you have youngsters I can recommend nothing better than Nye's Undeniable to get this important lesson under the belt. Adults who know their onions may find Nye's delivery in the audio version over the top.
I am buying the paper version for two young sisters.
