forests tribes might
If you just take a single human and put him or her in the forest he or she might not do very well without some sort of education which he got or she got from some tribe.
people quality world
The world's going to change climatically. We just want to control the change. We want to have a high quality of life for billions of people as we pass through this era.
climate world want
I hope climate science becomes the big thing. And then what I want is electrical engineers to solve the world's energy problems, energy distribution problems. I want mechanical engineers to make better transportation systems. I want chemical engineers to develop better solar panels, and so on.
reading years ideas
I tell personal stories associated with aspects of the theory, and I hope they are interesting and compelling. I don't feel you're going to change a grownup's mind in one reading. People have to be exposed to scientific ideas over and over again for years. It's also not a textbook.
animal pigs years
Burning carbon-based substances like oil, gas, and especially coal, produces billions of tons of extra carbon dioxide each year. Methane gas from cows and pigs and other animals on our large farms ends up in the atmosphere as well, trapping more of the sun's energy as heat.

Tax dollars intended for science education must not be used to teach creationism as any sort of real explanation of nature, because any observation or process of inference about our origin and the nature of the universe disproves creationism in every respect.

Intuitively you want some place [such as your phone] to store phone numbers, so you have that part of your brain to do other tasks.

But investment in space stimulates society, it stimulates it economically, it stimulates it intellectually, and it gives us all passion.
training boeing film
I always liked show biz and got to make a few training films at Boeing.
meaningful powerful discovery
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.
people arithmetic intimidated
I meet so many people who are intimidated by arithmetic.
years ideas earth
If you have this idea that the earth is only 6,000 years old, you are denying, if you will, everything that you can touch and see. Youre not paying attention to whats happening in the universe around you.
stars people navy
The US Navy has several people on every ship that can navigate by the stars. They don't fool with that.
school skills engineering
I am so old, I entered engineering school with a slide rule. And I left engineering school with a calculator. I can still use a slide rule but it's not a skill you especially need anymore.
