Bill Nye the Science Fool suggests parents should be penalized for having extra kids.
He said this during an episode of his new Netflix series that extra kids are a burden
to the Earth's environment and that governments should consider penalizing parents who decide
to raise large families.
For the final installment of Bill Nye Saves the World, which premiered on April 21st,
Nye interviewed a panel of guests to discuss birth control and Earth's people problem.
Nye asked, so should we have policies that penalize people for having extra kids in the
developed world?
So I do think we should at least consider it, Ryder responded.
Well at least consider it is like do it, Nye stated.
One of the things that we could do that's kind of at least policy-ish is we could encourage
our culture and our norms to change.
The remarks from Nye and Ryder drew criticism from many, including another panelist on the
show, Rachel Snow of the United Nations Population Fund.
I would take issue with the idea that we do anything to incentivize fewer children or
more children.
It's justice and human rights, she said.
People should have the number of children they want and the timing of children and if
some families have five or six children, God bless them, I mean that's fine, but most
people end up with fewer.
In an online interview of Bill Nye Saves the World, the Christian Apologetics Ministry
Answers in Genesis said that Nye's comments reveal that he has no foundation for morality.
Remember, Bill Nye has no foundation on which to offer any kind of morality.
The AIG Review states, as an atheist, he has rejected God's word as the authority.
He claims there is no creator who sets the rules.
So who decides what's right and wrong?
It's nothing more than his opinion grounded in nothing but his, or at best the majority's,
opinion.
He has no foundation for morality.
Although Nye describes himself as the science guy, his background rather is in mechanical
engineering and he only holds honorary doctorate of science degrees from supportive educational
institutions.
As previously reported, he routinely uses his platform to promote evolution and criticize
the biblical creation account.
So he wants families to be penalized for having children, penalized for having extra kids,
you know, should we penalize parents for having extra kids?
Absolutely ridiculous.
The first commandment that God gave man in the Bible was be fruitful and multiply and
replenish the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over
the fowl of the air and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
So the first commandment that God gave man is be fruitful and multiply.
But that's not what Bill Nye wants.
He wants parents to be penalized for having extra kids.
And what's extra anyway?
