Submission + - Bill Nye "The Science Guy": Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children (youtube.com)

timeOday writes: BigThink has released a video missive by Bill Nye "The Science Guy" in which he challenges the low level of acceptance of evolution, particularly in the United States. He does not mince words: 'I say to the grownups, if you want to deny evolution and live in your world, in your world that's completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe, that's fine, but don't make your kids do it because we need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future. We need people that can — we need engineers that can build stuff, solve problems.'

Comment Keep gettign the message out there. (Score 1) 9

Well the only thing that backers can really do at this point on their own is keep trying to do exactly this. Get the message out there. Go to forums on gaming sites, find a thread about it and post! Talk about favorite moments, wants for the new game, hopes that we'll pull through. Tweet out into the universe at large, post on facebook, you never know when a friend or follower will retweet or post the news along to someone else who might share with someone else. Information spreads like a virus, you just need to keep sneezing up new info for people to get infected with!

Comment Two Guys got me hooked. (Score 1) 3

Space Quest was the game that really got me hooked into adventure gaming. I'd played King's Quest prior of course, but there was just something about SQ1 that spoke to me. Maybe the it was the Sci-Fi setting, the comedic elements, the rather bumbling nature of the hero and his tale of, more or less, accidentally saving the day, but it was simply the perfect blend to make me a fan for life of the genre. Seeing this resurgence of adventure games has been great, seeing the Two Guys back together and ready to come out with a new Venture is Space is simply awesomely epic.
