But do you ever worry that this stridency could prevent you from reaching people whose opinions differ from yours?
It's a balance. I do my best to be open-minded and willing to accept other ideas. But the notion that humans are not causing climate change or that evolution is not the most important or significant idea in all of life science—that instead the Earth was created with magical thinking 6,000 years ago—I'm not going to say: "Well, let's just be friends."
-- Bill Nye
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
