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
You don't like Carl Sagan?
"To bake cookies from scratch, begin by first creating a universe."
Science Guy doesn't have to mean scientist
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
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.
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
They guy next to want is Carl Sagan. He's a pretty smart guy.
And he's an astrophysicist. So according to this guy he is even qualified to be talking about science
Bill nye isn't a scientist but he still taught science and neither Ross nor rogers are scientists either so what's the point of making that distinction then immediately ignoring it?
Yeah Ross and Rogers aren't scientists, they thought different things
Ross teaches art and Rogers teaches about values a lot of people in the united states should live by because the united states is a dystopian hell hole pioneered by bigots and capitalists
And Jean Claude Van Damm was a dancer first. Who the hell cares? They inspire people to explore science and teach the fundamentals of science. Nowhere in the meme do they claim to be anything other than inspiration.
