memories quality age
But as the cerebellum degrades with age, so does the quality of memories. The memories are there, but they're not as good.
tests way facts
Evolution is a theory, and it's a theory that you can test. We've tested evolution in many ways. You can't present good evidence that says evolution is not a fact.
people quality world
The world's going to change climatically. We just want to control the change. We want to have a high quality of life for billions of people as we pass through this era.
summer winter talking
Not wasting any water bottles is good. Not leaving the lights on is good. Turning the thermostat down in the winter, up in the summer, is good. But the best thing any of us in the developed world, especially in the United States, can be doing is talking about it.
climate world want
I hope climate science becomes the big thing. And then what I want is electrical engineers to solve the world's energy problems, energy distribution problems. I want mechanical engineers to make better transportation systems. I want chemical engineers to develop better solar panels, and so on.
ideas people community
I try to speak plainly and be sympathetic to the idea of religions where people gather in community. They get a sense of people looking out for each other. My claim is that we have a tendency to look out for each other whether or not there is a religion involved.
reading years ideas
I tell personal stories associated with aspects of the theory, and I hope they are interesting and compelling. I don't feel you're going to change a grownup's mind in one reading. People have to be exposed to scientific ideas over and over again for years. It's also not a textbook.
animal pigs years
Burning carbon-based substances like oil, gas, and especially coal, produces billions of tons of extra carbon dioxide each year. Methane gas from cows and pigs and other animals on our large farms ends up in the atmosphere as well, trapping more of the sun's energy as heat.
real dollars process
Tax dollars intended for science education must not be used to teach creationism as any sort of real explanation of nature, because any observation or process of inference about our origin and the nature of the universe disproves creationism in every respect.
brain body tables
If you memorize the periodic table it will speed you up if you're a chemist, but by and large, the reason you have a periodic table is so that you can store that information outside of your body. That way it frees up some part of your brain to do something else.
numbers phones brain
Intuitively you want some place [such as your phone] to store phone numbers, so you have that part of your brain to do other tasks.
blue space support
Everyone, red state, blue state, everyone supports space exploration.
passion space giving
But investment in space stimulates society, it stimulates it economically, it stimulates it intellectually, and it gives us all passion.

I always liked show biz and got to make a few training films at Boeing.
