On Saturday, MSNBC’s Craig Melvin spoke with the science guy himself — Bill Nye — about two congressmen who have recently spoken out about evolution. Todd Akin, for instance, made headlines when he referred to evolution as not “even a matter of science.”Then, Congressman Paul Brown weighed in, calling evolution and other scientific theories as “lies from the pit of Hell.”

 

Nye clarified that evolution is something that has been discovered as opposed to “made up,” adding that there is overwhelming evidence in favor of the scientific theory. And, being a seasoned teacher, Nye even brought out props — including roses — to explain past experiments concerning evolution.
