  Fine. I'll bite.

  Why does some guy with a Bachelor's Degree from a no-name university get any credibility in any
  field of science when his only actual skills are as an entertainer?

  His degree wasn't even in anything that relative to what he taught on his program.

  He can bitch and moan about what is or is not taught in schools. With his level of education, he
  wouldn't be allowed to teach in one for any reason other than he's a famous entertainer.

  Some guy with a Bachelor's Degree in an equally unrelated science field who isn't regarded as a
  scientist.

  Bill Nye is not a legitimate scientist though, he's just a TV personality who gets off on
  championing atheism.

  >"Worked on" the Mars Rover is a pretty loose way of defining that. He worked with other
  engineers to put a small sundial on it for color calibration. That's literally it.
  > I was aware of this. This was essentially his only merit before he stopped being a scientist
  and started being a celebrity.
  >The planetary society that he became a figure head for because he's famous (and could promote
  it) and because he knew the founder personally. CEO's aren't scientists, anyway.
  > Calling Bill Nye an Astronomer for assisting someone in building a tiny piece of the Mars Rover
  is like calling George Bush a baseball player because he threw the first pitch at several
  baseball games.

  >Nye was a contestant in the 17th season of Dancing with the Stars in 2013, partnering newcomer
  Tyne Stecklein. They were eliminated early in the season after Nye sustained an injury to his
  quadriceps tendon on Week 3.
  The song he was dancing to? "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk feat. Pharrell Williams

  You know there are entire corporations that bid on contracts to build a single piece of a NASA
  project, right? I mean, as far as people's contributions to rovers and shuttles go, he's pretty
  high up there in terms a contribution:person ratio.

  Which he got because he was famous. Not because of his credentials, because NASA would have to be
  fucking retarded to let someone as unqualified as him touch anything without supervision/extreme
  hand-holding.

  The reason he got the sundial section in particular was because Bill's father was a Japanese POW
  in WWII and was trapped without electricity and got an unhealthy obsession with sundials when he
  had no electricity during that time. If Bill happened to have some particular knowledge of or
  skill with sundials, this would be why.

  I'm honestly under the impression that, much like what he does for the planetary society, he was
  just a figure head to add popularity to the project and gather interest for it.

  His only scientific contribution before NASA was taking 3 years to build a pipe. And yes, that is
  real science. But a scientist can list several credentials. Bill has to dig really deep across
  decades to maybe have 3 contributions, of which only 1 can REALLY be called his.

  His actual job at Boeing was making instructional videos. He left them to write a sitcom and do
  stand-up.

  There's no way that he's a scientist. He's just an entertainer.

  he also believes in global warming. Being a meteorologist i know that is all fake.... but hey,
  his no degree knows more than my actual one, right?
