      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
