"Modern science is based on the Latin injunction ignoramus - 'we do not know'. It assumes that we don't know everything. Even more critically, it accepts that the things we think we know could be proven wrong as we gain more knowledge. No concept, idea or theory is sacred and beyond challenge". - Yuval Noah Harari.

Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation - Bill Nye
This is the second book I read by Bill Nye, though sequentially it came before the last one I read (Unstoppable).
The basis for this book was Bill Nye's live debate with creationist Ken Ham.
Like the last book, Nye starts with the subject matter, but delves into the science that is tangentially related to what you think the subject matter is. Whereas I thought this book was going to be solely about the argument between science and "creationism", Nye talks about evolution and the thought experiments on the origins of life and the possibility of life on other planets.
I enjoyed this book. Nye is intelligent and a little wacky, but always presents plausible but out there theories.
