How can Bill Nye understand anything about science when he can’t even understand the U.S. Constitution?

Bill Nye “The Science Guy” has run one of the most successful scams in the history of the country. People really do believe his knowledge of science is beyond reproach.

It’s not like he doesn’t come with credentials. A mechanical engineer by trade, he earned a bachelor of science from Cornell University in 1977 after graduating from the exclusive Sidwell Friends school in Washington, D.C.

But when it comes to non-politicized science – and views on politics – Nye is anything but unbiased, and frankly, scientists are supposed to be neutral. Also, he has no formal scientific training – just a kids-based “science” show he hosted in the 1990s.

Nye is a dyed-in-the-wool believer in the global warming hoax despite being proven wrong time and time again. He’s also no constitutionalist.

In recent days Nye – always pushing for Left-wing “science” causes – claimed the Constitution backed concerns by thousands of scientists and environmental activists who took to the streets in several cities during Earth Day to yell about the Trump administration’s proposed cuts to several federal agencies, including those that dole out grant money for research, as reported by The Daily Caller.

“If you suppress science, if you pretend climate change isn’t a real problem, you will fall behind other countries that do invest in science, that do invest in basic research,” Nye said during an interview with CNN during the “March for Science” protests.

The main march for science took place in Washington, D.C., of course, and Nye spoke there at a rally that was attended by thousands carrying signs that impugned so-called “climate skeptics” and warned that any cuts to the EPA and other federal agencies would doom the United States, if not the planet at large.

Then Nye said this: “And it is interesting to note, I think, that Article 1 Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution refers to the progress of science and the useful arts.

“Useful arts in the 18^th century usage would be what we call engineering or city planning or architecture,” he added.

Nye, The Daily Caller reported, told Vox pretty much the same thing in 2015, but the media outlet did not hold him to account or fact-check him.

“So if you’re a politician looking to derail the progress of science, I think you’re not doing your job,” he continued.

Nye is referring to the section of nation’s founding document that lists the scope of the Legislative Branch’s power (see it here). Further, the “Science Guy” appears to be referencing a provision of Art. 1, Sect. 8 stating that one of Congress’ powers is “to promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries…”

What that passage means and what Nye thinks it means are two different things.

The provision was established to give inventors, authors and creators copyrights and patents for their work, so that it could not be stolen and replicated (for profit) by others. It has nothing at all to do with requiring Congress to fund scientific research and development. And though government funding of R&D does occur, the level of funding varies by industry.

In addition, there is a case to be made that much government funding of “science” is nothing more than huge slush funds for politically correct “research” designed to support premeditated conclusions (like, say, regarding global warming/climate change). Time and again, as Natural News has reported, most of this research is faked anyway – again to support a preconceived conclusion that “climate change is settled science” (then why keep studying it?).

I would say that Nye should stick to just plain science instead of political science, but he’s got no better record of accuracy there, either.

ACT CHECK: Bill Nye is a mechanical engineer, not “Climate Change” specialist

Don’t get your dinner from a gas station, don’t throw smoke bombs intended for your opponents into the wind, and don’t get your scientific information from a celebrity in a lab coat. Especially one who only has a B.S. in mechanical engineering.

(Article by Brandon Morse republished from TheBlaze.com)

These are pretty basic things people should know not to do, but the last one is something many will ignore when it comes to the case of psuedo-scientist Bill Nye.

Nye gained popularity in the 90’s when he hosted the kid’s show, Bill Nye the Science Guy. Admittedly, it was an interesting show that I tuned into often to watch when I was a kid. However, like many a Disney Channel star has done, Nye shed the shackles of a child friendly persona, and began engaging in behavior that should be too ridiculous to be consumed by the mainstream media, but is anyway.

What’s worse, is that some of this behavior is very anti-science for a guy who is oft referred to as “the science guy.”

The latest in Nye’s long line of non-scientific science came during his new Netflix series, when he had a song and dance number performed by actress Rachel Bloom. The song was called “My Sex Junk,” and it featured Bloom and some backup dancers singing and dancing about how sexuality is fluid, and transgenderism is sound science.

The clip of this performance was published to YouTube on Tuesday, and since it’s hit the web the video has gone viral, and attained a level of infamy that most of today’s more famous provocateurs would call “too much.” As of this writing, the video currently has over 100,000 views, over 11,000 “thumbs down, and only 175 “thumbs up.”

Watch the video for yourself, but be warned that it contains references to genitalia. A lot. Also, it’s really, really awkward.

I find it fascinating that Nye, the man who often complains that there are people out there ignoring “proven” science on climate, and pushes the importance of scientific discovery, is willing to completely ditch sound science and facts in the face of a political agenda.

Transgenderism, for all its promotion as today’s cause célèbre is not real in any world but the political. Science recognizes the disorder of gender dysphoria, but beyond this disorder, there is no scenario where a woman is actually a man, though she posses two X chromosomes, ovaries, and other things specific to female biology. Likewise, a man cannot menstruate or become pregnant, or give birth.

This is obvious to anyone still in grade school, but apparently not to Nye, the actor who touts himself as a man of science. For Nye, science and politics are the same thing. He said as much when he was recently on CNN, where he got into a debate with William Happer, a physicist at Princeton University. Happer – the actual scientist – got into an argument with Nye about how there isn’t any need for the global warming alarmism, and that we should be crafting and voting on policy based off of flawed computer models.

Nye fired back by first chastising CNN for having someone like Happer on, calling him a “climate denier.” He then went into spouting disproved claims about warming oceans, and mentioned that “science is political.”

The problem with Nye’s stance is that politics has agendas contained within it. Science, at least in its true sense, does not. Science is based off of fact, trial and error, and hard evidence. Politics is based off of opinion, philosophy, and and how much money you can get for voting a certain way. If Nye is truly a man of science, he should be willing to stand back, look at the evidence in front of him, and conclude that there is not more than two genders, or that throwing people in jail for being a “climate denier” is going a little too far.

In science, more debate is good, not less. A man attempting to silence others because he doesn’t agree sounds more like something a religious fanatic would do, not a man of science.
