    The only guy I like on this is Bob Ross and Mr Rogers

    I don’t even know who the guy is besides “want”

    ndt has sexual assault allegations

    bill nye is a engineer not a scientist and the science guy is only a stand up comedy act

    So, Is Bill Nye a Real Scientist?

    While Nye is absolutely an engineer, the Science Council defines a scientist as “someone who systematically gathers and uses research and evidence, to make hypotheses and test them, to gain and share understanding and knowledge.”

    A program with an actual scientist is Scope with Dr Rob

        And it’s still a comedy act, bill nye is qualified to be an engineer, not a scientist

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_James_Bell

        Robert James Bell is a qualified scientist

        Trusting bill nye to teach science is like trusting your uncle bob who thinks he knows science to teach science

        nye should be teaching engineering, not science

          He’s not teaching advanced science concepts, you don’t need a background in science to teach bog-standard science to children

          Science Guy is there to get kids excited about science, not to enforce scientific rigor

          So science teachers also shouldn’t teach science because they’re not scientists?

          That’s not what “qualified” means.

          People don’t need to meet the definition of being a scientist in order for them to be educating others on scientific topics.
