I think this kid has a crush on Bill Nye.
Bill Nye The Science Guy Dead: Uses Death Hoax Fame to Warn Against Creationism Taught in Classrooms
“The Earth is not 6,000 or 10,000 years old. It’s not. And if that conflicts with your beliefs, I strongly feel you should question your beliefs.
If we raise a generation of students who don’t believe in the process of science, who think everything that we’ve come to know about nature and the universe can be dismissed by a few sentences translated into English from some ancient text, you’re not going to continue to innovate.”

In September 2012, Nye claimed that creationist views threaten science education and innovation in the United States.
In February 2014, Nye debated creationist Ken Ham at the Creation Museum on the topic of whether creation is a viable model of origins in today’s modern, scientific era.
Nye is a fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, a U.S. non-profit scientific and educational organization whose aim is to promote scientific inquiry, critical investigation, and the use of reason in examining controversial and extraordinary claims.[51] Interviewed by John Rael for the Independent Investigation Group IIG, Nye stated that his “concern right now... scientific illiteracy... you [the public] don’t have enough rudimentary knowledge of the universe to evaluate claims.”
Nye began his professional entertainment career as a writer/actor on a local sketch comedy television show in Seattle, Washington, called Almost Live!. The host of the show, Ross Shafer, suggested he do some scientific demonstrations in a six-minute segment, and take on the nickname “The Science Guy”. His other main recurring role on Almost Live! was as Speedwalker, a speedwalking Seattle superhero.
