NEW YORK (Reuters) - Scientist and children's television personality
Bill Nye, in a newly released online video, panned biblical creationism
and implored American parents who reject the scientific theory of
evolution not to teach their beliefs to their youngsters.
"I
say to the grownups, 'If you want to deny evolution and live in your
world that's completely inconsistent with everything we've observed in
the universe that's fine. But don't make your kids do it,'" said Nye,
best known as host of the educational TV series "Bill Nye the Science
Guy."
The video, titled "Creationism Is Not
Appropriate for Children," was posted on Thursday by the online
knowledge forum Big Think to YouTube and had netted more than 1.3
million views as of Monday. click here to read more
