About this audiobook

"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."—Bill Nye

Sparked by a controversial debate in February 2014, Bill Nye has set off on an energetic campaign to spread awareness of evolution and the powerful way it shapes our lives. In Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation, he explains why race does not really exist; evaluates the true promise and peril of genetically modified food; reveals how new species are born, in a dog kennel and in a London subway; takes a stroll through 4.5 billion years of time; and explores the new search for alien life, including aliens right here on Earth.

With infectious enthusiasm, Bill Nye shows that evolution is much more than a rebuttal to creationism; it is an essential way to understand how nature works—and to change the world. It might also help you get a date on a Saturday night.

Ratings and reviews

I assume you’re here because you already know about Bill Nye. You know about his witty commentary, excessive use of puns, and, of course, his excellent science communication skills. But here’s the new thing for me. In this book he says “she” before “he” and “her” before “him” when attributing pronouns to things of unknowable gender. It’s a small thing that’s honestly not so small. So add welcoming writer to the list. Also, if you get the audiobook, Bill reads in funny voices sometimes!

AMAZING Iove the book so much I really am only in 7th and have never read the books but man Bill Nye is great

I'm taking a star off solely because he had every opportunity to name this book "UndeNYEable" and he didn't. Otherwise a very worthwhile read.
