my point is 1) he's destroying the validity of science and 2) he's doing that by not even being scientific- he's completely clueless to his surroundings, a scientist is supposed to be keenly aware of his surroundings, at least that environment/surrounding which he's trying to be scientific about. but as he shows in that clip, he gets that wrong, like he always does.
most folk's view on abortion has little to do with their understanding of the science about it and everything to do with their personal belief structure. he completely misses that. bill nye the science guy acting frustrated about his perception that people lack knowledge while trying to goad and chide them because he thinks they aren't smart about conception and if only they would listen to him smacks of disconnected elitism and that's a big problem for science.
his personal political views have nothing to do with science. and his condescending attitude towards those he thinks are ignorant make that much much worse. i'd have less probs with the guy if his name was "bill nye the bowtie guy".
