Smileys Help Explain Theory Of Evolution

Bill Nye, otherwise known as The Science Guy, made a video to explain the concept of evolution of life with the help of emojis. He made the video in affiliation with Mashable.

According to Tech Times, Nye, who is considered one of the the most favourite scientists in the world, became famous because of a TV series for children. In the show, he would explain different scientific concepts to children, which got him the name "The Science Guy."

Since the children of today speak a different language, Nye has put together a video with the use of emoticons. The emoticons are used to demonstrate how evolution works from a single-celled to multi-cellular organisms.

Nye said evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science, and when people understand it, they will know more about themselves as well as other living organisms on Earth. He explained humans are made of atoms that had been blasted out of ancient stars; because of which there is at least one way in which the universe knew itself.

Nye has always propagated the importance of teaching evolution in classrooms. He stuck by his belief about evolution despite supporters of creationism or the belief that God was the one who created the world.

According to the Huffington Post, Nye said the biggest danger that creationism plays is raising a generation of children who could not think and who would not be able to participate in the future in the same way as those who were taught about evolution. He said he blamed the older generation, who had strong conservative views and who were reluctant to let their children learn about the theory of evolution.

He said religion was one thing and that people got comfort with their religions. His viewpoint was that whatever one believed and whatever deity one believes in, the Earth is not 6,000 years old.

In early 2014, he had a debate with Ken Ham, an Australian creationist, regarding the topic "Is Creation A Viable Model of Origins?" Some people said the debate was a moment of embarrassment for the science community. Nye had taken part in the debate because Ham had challenged him to do so. Ham had stuck to the Young Earth creatinism model which is a religious belief that states that God had created the universe in a relatively short amount of time. Nye had cited his observations and defended the scientific consensus about the Earth being 4.5 billion years old
