When Bill Nye has difficulty falling asleep (what with all of those counter-evolutionists to contend with), he no longer counts sheep.
Nye instead counts planets.
Not just the ones in our solar system, mind you (although these days that’s challenging enough)…
Nye has broadened this mathematical quest to include all planets within God’s Creation (aka “Nye’s Universe”).
His bedtime ritual (as recently "revealed" on HuffPost Live)
might therefore sound something like this: I mean there’s 200 billion stars in this
galaxy alone. Then you start talking
about the hundreds of
billions of galaxies…
If still awake after that first astronomical round, Nye might then (hopefully sleepily) continue: Hundreds of billions of galaxies, which in turn have hundreds
of billions of stars, which in turn have
tens of hundreds of billions –
trillions – of planets.
His final conclusion (before desperately reaching for some Nyquil) sounds definitive:
It’s [extra-terrestrial life’s] gotta exist outside
the solar system.
