A recent clip from Big Think featured science educator Bill Nye and his thoughts on Creationism and Evolution. Bill explains that, ‘When you have a portion of the population that doesn’t believe in the general understanding of science’, or evolution, ‘it holds everybody back’. Bill says it’s okay for grownups to deny evolution but asks not to force the denial of evolution on their children. Bill ends with, ‘You know, in another couple of centuries that world view, I’m sure, will be, it just won’t exist. There’s no evidence for it’. This clip has been seen over 1 million times since it was posted last Thursday. Just three days after the clip released, ‘RIP Bill Nye The Science Guy‘ started trending on twitter. The rumor was proved false and Bill Nye is alive and well.

Bill Nye And The Science Guys.
After hearing about Bill Nye and the Science Guys from Colorado College, science educator Bill Nye himself wanted to meet the band. Bill Nye attended the National Space Symposium held at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The band played Bill Nye the Science Guy theme while Bill Nye danced and jumped to the music, eventually Bill jumps on stage with the band and helps sing ‘She Blinded Me With Science’. Bill headed to twitter afterwards tweeting ‘BNSG with the band of the same name‘.
