Bill Nye 'The Science Guy' has recently come out with a new book titled "Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation," and recently spoke on Newsmax TV's "Midpoint" concerning his belief that it is very important to confront creationists.

According to the Huffington Post, Nye said that he was "trying to spread the word" that creationism is raising a generation of children who "can't think" and who "will not be able to participate in the future in same way" as those who are taught evolution.

Nye continued, "The problem is, we have adults with very conservative views who are unwilling to let kids learn about evolution. Do you want to know why? I don't know why. Evolution is the fundamental idea in biology, it's the main idea in life science, it is the fact of life... And yet we have these people who get on school boards, and want to introduce doubt about the main idea in biology. It's unique to the United States."

He then spoke about how evangelical fundamentalists are holding many children back from better understanding the world around them, saying, "They will not have this fundamental idea that you can use skeptical thought to learn about nature. They will have to suppress everything they see in nature in order to try and get a worldview that's compatible with the adults, in whom they trust."

However, he maintained that these children are not dumb, but "just kids who are unable, or who are uncomfortable, with using the scientific method." 

He continued, "We're on television, or on the Internet, using lights that are light-emitting diodes that didn't exist 30 years ago. Who's going to come up with the next innovation that's going to keep the United States competitive worldwide if you raise a generation of kids who can't do physics or chemistry? Do you want doctors who can't understand biology?"
