So, some folks think that only a PhD “scientist” with sheepskins from some crusty “educational” organization are the only ones qualified to know the truth?
Gosh, a few more of us can read! So we can think for ourselves too!
Note: not defending the humanist religion of evolution etc etc, rather stating that the logic you are proposing works both ways!
But Nye presents himself as a “Scientific Expert.” That implies education and experience in scientific matters. Doing comedy sketches doesn’t quite qualify him as an expert.
This isn't about credentials. It's about the fact that on occasion after occasion, in front of audiences large and small, Bill Nye has betrayed a staggering ignorance of science.
