Bill Nye “the Science Guy” of TV and debate fame has produced a short video that’s on YouTube (and was promoted through various media outlets) supposedly to explain evolution with what’s called Emoji!

Now the video has had about 1.3 million views. And you might be surprised when I tell you that I think it would be a good one for you to sit down and watch with your kids—so that you can clearly show them that evolution is just another fairy tale. And Bill Nye makes it so obvious.

As you start the video, you will hear the following:

Molecules just happen . . . Well somehow, probably with energy from the Sun, these molecules hooked together and accidentally found ways to reproduce themselves.

Yes—“somehow,” “probably”—Bill is using the right sort of words as he explains his fairy tale.

Let’s look closely at Nye’s statement: “These molecules hooked together and accidentally found ways to reproduce themselves the same way crystals reproduce if you leave them alone for a while.” Now at this stage, you need to explain to your children that the formation of crystals has nothing to do with the origin of life—absolutely nothing! We read the following in an article on the AiG website:

Answers in Genesis molecular geneticist Dr. Georgia Purdom has observed . . . “Once again we see scientists claiming that matter plus energy equals the first steps towards life. . . . But all the matter, energy, and ‘spinning crystals’ in the universe won’t cause life to come from non-life. Life requires information and thus, an information giver. The only one capable of creating and encoding this information is the Creator God.”

The wonders of nanotechnology, made more feasible through the physical properties of active matter, may revolutionize technology. But they will not enlighten our understanding of our origins. If we want to understand how the physical world and the living things in it operate today, scientific experiments and observations can show us. But the origin of living cells (and all other kinds of biological life) is a historical question that can only be correctly answered on the basis of the completely truthful testimony of the only eyewitness, the Creator.
