Narrative During Books Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation (Un... #1)
Sparked by a provocative comment to BigThink.com last fall, and fueled by a highly controversial debate with Creation Museum curator Ken Ham, Bill Nye's campaign to confront the scientific shortcoming of creationism has exploded in just a few months into a national crusade. In this book, he expands the points he has made, and claims that this debate is not so much about religion versus science, as about the nature of science itself. With infectious enthusiasm, he reveals the mechanics of evolutionary theory, explains how it is rooted in the testable and verifiable scientific method, and why it is therefore a sound explanation of our beginning. He argues passionately that to continue to assert otherwise, to continue to insist that creationism has a place in the science classroom is harmful not only to our children, but to the future of the greater world as well.Point Containing Books Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation (Un... #1)

Interesting ideas, but is a book focused for the laymen. (hey its Bill Nye!)So lets say youre unsure on this whole evolution thing. Youve got questions. But, for one reason or another, science never stuck with you in school. Maybe your classes (or teachers, sigh) were a bit on the boring sidelots of memorization and dull textbooks, and no explosions, no episodes of Bill Nye the Science Guy on VHS on the bulky 27" CRT television wheeled out from the A/V cabinet (ahhh, those were the days). Or maybe you had the misfortune to attend an underfunded public school in the
There are two things I learned about Bill Nye after reading this book:1. Nye has read Fifty Shades of Grey2. Nye really didn't care for his bossThus, concludes my learning.Oh, wait. There's more!The genesis of Undeniable: Evoulution and the Science of Creation stems from a debate that Nye had against Ken Ham, leader of an organization called Answers in Genesis.Ham is in favor of Creationism. Creationism is the belief that a higher power created the Earth a little more than 6,000 years ago. Nye

Disclaimer: ARC via Netgalley.Disclaimer 2: I was a little too old for Bill Nyes television show when it first came out. I watched it now and then, and laughed. But I wasnt a serious viewer. Disclaimer 3: WTF is wrong with some people? Seriously, if I hear one more person ask me, what is wrong with teaching creationism in science class, Im going to . . . um . . . I guess I am going to send them to Bill Nye.Disclaimer 4: That whole teach the debate thing that some people hype is just so wrong.
Educational, and Bill throws in a little wit in his writing to help the reader digest what could be taken as a complex subject. If you enjoy science, especially the subject of evolution, I would recommend this one.
A fairly well written, but misguided book. Despite the passive-aggressive title, Nye's point of view on science is highly deniable. Particularly because in his mind, "science" is interchangeable with "evolution". Chapter after chapter Nye recounts his version of "facts" that are based on a series of poor assumptions and questionable interpretations of data. I am far from a scientist, but even I could see equally plausible explanations with a creationist worldview from examples he provided for
