I wouldn't call a guy who specializes in explaining science to people someone who "doesn't know anything."

The folks over at Melodysheep have done it again, this time featuring Bill Nye and Isaac Asimov prominently, as they sing about the dangers of climate change.

Bill Nye, the knower of all things, is out with a new video in which he encourages creationist parents to embrace their "crazy, untenable, inconsistent" world view -- just so long as they don't force it on their offspring:

If you want to deny evolution and live in your world, in your world that's completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe, that's fine, but don't make your kids do it because we need them.

We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future. We need people that can... we need engineers that can build stuff, solve problems.

I find myself wishing this lineage had continued to the next famous scientist.
