      Still remember in jr high (1980’s) we had a guy come in for one class to teach us “crap detecting”. Never forgot it. Should have been a whole course.

      In The God Delusion Dawkins has a bullet proof repudiation of God which no one to his knowledge has EVER been able to conflict: "infinite regress". 'Any god must itself be created due to infinite regress'. No where is it evident Dawkins knows the
      etiology of his infinite regress; perhaps Aeschylus or Archimedes or Thucydides or Hippocampus... he's literally too ignorant to know. IT'S 1ST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS! "Heat NEVER derives from cold"--ergo THIS universe of heat cannot have begun...only regresses therefore are possible. BUUTTT....
      In the 1st chapter of The God Delusion Dawkins stipulates that he will be addressing
      his arguments against ONLY "supernatural" gods. WTF!! WTF!! Supernatural is
      BY DEFINITION not constrained by the natural---thermodynamics is "THE MOST PROVEN OF ALL NATURAL LAW" (Einstein). Perhaps knowing the origin of
      his infinite regress would've helped the c**t....but then again it would fail to
      explain his myriad and many other prima facie failings of intellect.
      OF WHICH I HAVE CATALOGED MANY.....

    Unfortunately, the word science has no meaning or understanding. The word should be abandoned. Yet, science simply means asking a question and turning to a particular method to find. the truth. The kids from K onward should be taught the method that we know to discover the truth and to be able to say I Don't Know and go to the method we have discovered to find the truth. We do not need to facilitate the idiots like the speaker of our house who think all the answers to human troubles can be found in the Bible. Teach the scientific method from all years to all children and their parents.

      You can agree with somebody on one subject and disagree on another and still get along. This 'all or nothing' mentality only serves to divide us further. Was everything he said about climate change, science education, and creationism flat out wrong because he doesn't agree with your politics or said something you don't agree with? All you're doing is alienating people who might otherwise be on your side on certain issues.

    • @TJ_USA

      Ordinarily I'd agree with you but I take moral exception to trans ideology - as it harms third parties. Also the notion of "public scientist" has always been silly and misleading. Usually I'm not at all all or nothing. Also I guess I find Nye cringeworthy.@@chocopuddingcup83
