Bill Nye
"Evolution is one of the most powerful and important ideas ever developed in the history of science. Every question it raises leads to new answers, new discoveries, and new smarter questions. The science of evolution is as expansive as nature itself. It is also the most meaningful creation story that humans have ever found."--Bill NyeSparked by a controversial debate in February 2014, Bill Nye has set off on an energetic campaign to spread awareness of evolution and the powerful way it shapes our lives. In his New York Times bestseller, Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation, he explains why race does not really exist; evaluates the true promise and peril of genetically modified food; reveals how new species are born, in a dog kennel and in a London subway; takes a stroll through 4.5 billion years of time; and explores the new search for alien life, including aliens right here on Earth. With infectious enthusiasm, Bill Nye shows that evolution is much more than a rebuttal to creationism; it is an essential way to understand how nature works-and to change the world. It might also help you get a date on a Saturday night.

"Excellent introductory book for arguing evolution over creationism. Easy to read but not elementary. It'll help you tackle the tough questions if you really want the truth. The hardest part is embracing it, especially if your upbringing has been largely religious."

"I have to admit that this is a book I really wanted to love but just couldn't. I suppose I just wasn't the intended audience: I don't believe nor have I ever believed in creationism. Honestly are creationists actually reading this book? Anyways, Bill Nye is wonderful science educator and has a great sense of humor which shows through out the book. Unfortunately, the facts presented in the book all seem incredibly basic which left me incredibly bored. As much as I wanted to love this book, it just wasn't for me."

"I've always been fascinated by science. While I struggled with the formulas in chemistry and physics, I was still interested in what made the world work. I was especially enthralled by biology and evolution. I was actually an anthropology minor in college because I just loved learning about it. <br/><br/>Bill Nye wrote this book after his debate with Ken Hamm on February 4, 2014, at the Creation Museum in Petersburg, KY. The topic of the debate was "Is Creation a Viable Model of Origins?" (You can watch the debate here...it's fascinating. http://youtu.be/z6kgvhG3AkI) I watched it when it aired, and as always, I was impressed with the intelligence and grace that Nye exuded. One of the most interesting differences (at least to me) is that Nye states he is willing to accept a creationist model if someone were to show him evidence that supports it. Hamm says nothing will ever change his mind. <br/><br/>Undeniable presents the findings of Darwin, Lamarck, and others in an interesting, easy to understand way. You don't have to have any kind of scientific background to follow along with what Nye is saying. (He narrates the audiobook, which is awesome.) He also has a great sense of humor. The chapter on sex had me laughing like a teenage boy, and I'm totally not sorry for that. <br/><br/>I was intrigued all the way through, and thought it was a great listen. I will always and forever love Bill Nye the Science guy. :)"
