Bill Nye More Quotes by Bill Nye More Quotes From Bill Nye I like to regard myself as someone who's capable of critical thought, that is to say, who can evaluate claims.

Bill Nye strivemeaning-of-lifelife-is The philosophy of science is inherent in the process. This is to say, you think critically, you draw a conclusion based on evidence, but we all pursue discovery based on our observations. That's where science starts. Bill Nye discoveryphilosophythinking Along with the evidence of common sense, researchers have proven scientifically that humans are all one people. We're a lot like dogs in that regard.
