Bill Nye needs to get out of other people's lives and go jump back in the swamp he crawled out of.
I wonder why a "transitional" fossil has never been found?? If evolution were true there would be tons of them. But there's not even one. Go figure.
All those evolutionist comments at the end of the article are just stupid. What's really stupid is following a schizophrenic man for 150+ years and his mindless ramblings. Here's the mental state of "Ol' Charlie Darwin" the leader of the cult called evolution: http://www.icr.org/article/112/

Stop with the transitional bullshit and think for yourself. Everything that's either currently alive or was once alive is transitional between the previous and subsequent generations.
And I don't care about Darwin's mental health. This is an ad hominem attack that speaks nothing to the quality of his theory.

Practically every fossil is transitional, there are literally millions of tons of evidence of evolution from the fossil record alone.
An ounce of evidence of there being a god, now that's just about imposssible to find to find.
Hmm! Good point. Perhaps I need to rethink the "Hocus Pocus and a handful dust" point of view. On reconsideration, I can see the merits of the "Let there be light" scenario. After all, without light I wouldn't be able to see anything, therefore, God.
No, that's not working. Hmmm! Perhaps if I become more childlike, revert to a more gullible persona? Yes, that might be a good way of accepting the banalities of practiced liars and their drooling underlings.
Wow! Yeah! It's starting to become clear to me now. It might even lead to flight..er..soon.
All fossils can be said to be transitional.
What's really stupid is following the contradictory mythology of Judean Shepherds for 2000 years. Evolution isn't a cult, it's a theory that is underpinned by libraries full of data.
Even if you were to show that Darwin was completely insane, the theory of evolution would stand on it's own merits. We have the evidence, we have the fossils, we have the DNA. We don't need Darwin anymore. He stopped being vital to the theory of evolution as soon as other people heard the idea and started verifying it.
And even if you did prove evolution was false, you still don't get to plug you god into the gap until you show some evidence.
Trying to fling back the mean words you get told yourself eh? You should make sure you understand what they mean first.
When you're told to get out of people's lives, it means you should stop controlling who they love, what media they watch, what they learn in schools, and also stop trying to terrorise their children.
Bill Nye isn't in anybody's life. He's in the TV. (yeah he ought to have a family and stuff outside of it but you get my point) He's not forcing you to listen.
Say it with me: EVERY fossil is a transitional fossil.
Or, as someone else is sure to say: We have the fossil evidence. We win.
Every single fossil is a transition fossil, stupid.
Science is very far from a cult; it's thousands upon thousands of scientist, all competing with each other, all wanting to find the new thing, that will erradicate all the old knowledge (including evolution] before someone else finds it.
"I wonder why a "transitional" fossil has never been found?? If evolution were true there would be tons of them."
I wonder why you are not aware of any transitional fossils? There are tons of them, which one of the reasons biologists accept evolution as a fact.
I don't understand how anyone can dislike Bill Nye... You have to have your head rammed infinitely far up your own ass for that to become possible. And be so blind, spiteful, and deluded that you can't see that he simply explains the world the way it is and educates people. You have to be pretty sick to not appreciate a talented educator.

That are tons of them, you lunatics just refuse to acknowledge them.

Out of people's lives? He did a video interview. If you don't like it, don't watch it. I absolutely hate romantic comedies (well, not all of them but most of them seem to be extremely generic) but you don't see me telling directors to stop making them. Romcoms make money and as long as the audience keeps paying for them studios have every right to make them.

Creationist warning: You can stick your fingers in your ears and go "la-la-la!" now while we "evolutionists" look at these:

Ironic comment:
"Indeed it is sad, because one of the sneakiest ways to implement change is to indoctrinate unsuspecting, pliable children. They trust adults almost implicitly and it is only later that they begin to see evil, but then it is usually too late."
Every fossil is a "transitional fossil."
Every time a life form is found between two others, your lot just complains that there are now two gaps with no "transitional" forms.
Again with the attacks on Darwin! That's the trademark of the truly desparate.
It blows my mind, that in 2012, there are still people that deny the physical evidence. I don't understand how anyone could not like science-it's so much fun!
And Bill Nye rocks. I loved his little co-hosting bit with Ellen at Disney World's Universe of Energy.
Ardipithecus ramidus .
How do you justify being an adult with a solid position/belief and being so poorly informed about it?
Edit: Oh, and fuck you for the nasty comment about Bill Nye.
Oh, here's a good one: the fucking Archaeopteryx. Plus: ad hominem much? Even someone with a serious mental health problem could come up with a theory that withstands the most rigorous scrutiny, and, you know, regarding Darwin's mental state: "Were You There?" (TM).
hmm, unbiased source on darwin, how nice.
at least science only followed him for 150 years and not over 2000 and there is a lot of real evidence to support his theory. Rainbows prove God, not so much.
Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!
(I loved that show.)
What Dr. Razark said.
Even if Chuck was a raving lunatic, he still managed to nail this one.
And as opposed to all the raving religious lunatics...um...not so much. Still looking for proof, but still looking in the same old moldy book for it.
Oh for fuck's sakes, not this transitional fossil crap again. Chris, buddy, if you want to see a transitional life form you only need look in the freaking mirror.
I wonder what would happen if you told one of the creationists with children that they themselves are a transitional form between their parents and their children?
Although if they believe in absolute divine creation, with the creator BOTH omnipotent and omnibenevolent (put aside my worries that omnipotence might be inherently evil, and so incompatible with omnibenevolence...), well...What would God have had to lose by giving us vision at least as good as a mantis shrimp's?
And Isaac Newton thought you could magically turn lead into gold. The fact that he also believed mystical bullshit does nothing to counter the legitimacy of his idea of gravity.
Stupid people can discover truth. And smart people can be full of bullshit.

Bullshit approach seconded.
Emily Littela: WHAT'S ALL THIS I HEAR ABOUT TRANSISTORIZED FOSSILS? THAT'S RIDICULOUS! TRANSISTORS DIDN'T EVEN EXIST UNTIL THE 1950'S, AND THEN THEY PUT THEM INTO LITTLE RADIOS, NOT FOSSILS! WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A TRANSISTORIZED FOSSIL? LISTEN TO THE FLINTSTONES BASEBALL GAME? AND ANOTHER THING....
Jane: That's "Transitional."
Emily: What?
Jane: "Transitional fossils," not, "Transistorized fossils." Transitional.
Emily: Oh. That's very different... Never mind!
@ veras: epic! +1 internet for you!
@dionysus: why is dimetrodon a transitional fossil? sure it's an awesome 'saur, but... ok, time for personnal research
nevermind: your post is the reason i read the comments here. just a quick wik' showed me this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimetrodon dimetrodon is pure win. thanks, buddy (dionysus, not dimetrodon... then again, both)
@ quote: fuckin' p.r.a.t.t
They're all transitional fossils, you fucking Creationist halfwit. What you want to see is something half-cat and half-dog and that's magic, not evolution.
You people are terminally retarded. Bill Nye has more brain cells in his belly-button lint than a church full of fundies.
Fossils are the least of the evidence for evolution. The evidence from genetics alone shows beyond a reasonable doubt that evolution is a fact.
That we have transitional fossils (in the sense that creationists use the term) is just icing on the cake.
Charles Darwin was a genius, as was the co-discoverer of the Theory of Evolution, Alfred Russel Wallace. You're just an ignorant, religious twat.
Here's the really scary thing, from the creationists point of view. If not one other single fossil was ever found again, we would still have enough evidence to justify the theory of evolution from our knowledge of anatomy and DNA analysis.
Be afraid oh botherers of the Lord.
Mostly, you keep moving the goal posts. Every time a "transitional" fossil is found, you say, "Yeah? Well, where's the link between this one and the next one?" It's a bad faith tactic and one people use when they know they're lying.
"I wonder why a "transitional" fossil has never been found??"
We've found billions of transitional fossils. You see, if evolution works, and it does, every organism that lives, has ever lived, or ever will live, is a transitional form; transitional between what is was, and what it may become if the environment changes and evolutionary pressures go to work on it. So every fossil ever found is transitional.
Got it? No, I didn't think so.
Fuck off.
If pointed to a list of transitional fossils, he'll follow the logic of a baby, if he covers his eyes, it doesn't exist.
"Bill Nye needs to get out of other people's lives and go jump back in the swamp he crawled out of."
But the Christians who try to tell everyone what to believe are fine?
"I wonder why a "transitional" fossil has never been found?? If evolution were true there would be tons of them. But there's not even one. Go figure."
They have. It's just that creationists like to believe that if they close their eyes and cover their ears things they don't like don't exist anymore.

But your 2000+ year old collaboration of numerous people's mindless ramblings is fine?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
