My questioning of Nye's qualifications is not at all about knowledge and all about the gravitas an advanced degree and a body of published research conveys.

Didn't know that Dr. Jesus personally requested Nye.
Of course, I didn't mean to come across as aggressive in any way. I can easily see how one would think that Bill Nye is an add choice if a group of scientists got together and decided Nye was the person to go forward, it would be a little bit unusual.

Although, as I have heard in jest (or perhaps not in jest), maybe they would have selected Bill Nye, because he has experience talking to and educating children. Lol.
