Bill Nye "The Science Guy" once again has some strong words against creationism. The TV personality and science expert recently said that creationism does not encourage thinking among young people.

Nye has gotten into the age-old debate once again: science fact versus religious beliefs.

Nye has been promoting his new book "Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation" through TV and newspaper interviews early on this month. And in one of his latest appearances, Nye is more adamant than ever that creationism is only hurting the younger generations and not fostering an environment that will allow them to think critically, noted the Huffington Post.

Some people believe that God created humans in their current form. According to the latest Gallup poll, 42 percent of Americans believe that God directly created human beings within the last 10,000 years. But they are twice as many people who think that homo sapiens evolved over millions of years ago, and God had nothing to do with it, U.S. News reported.

In Nye's new book, he wants to completely debunk the creationism debate. Nye finds that these sets of beliefs are "troubling" and that they negate the importance of early science education.

Nye is doing everything to educate young people on science fact through interviews and even debates with creationist leaders. Nye said he blames the older generation of evangelicals "who have very strong conservative views." It is because of their strong beliefs they do not want their children to be educated about evolution, Huffington Post reported.

Nye even argues that the conservative evangelicals have an influential presence on school boards that cause debates over educational programs. As a result of their influence it further stops the schools' ability to teach facts.

"Religion is one thing. People get tremendous comfort and community with their religions," Nye said. "But whatever you believe, whatever deity or higher power you might believe in, the Earth is not 6,000 years old."

Nye recently shot a video for Mashable, where he tried to appeal to younger people through emojis. He used the text messaging characters to explain evolution.

Nye debated with creationist Ken Ham in February to get his point across, but some people from the science community did not support it. Nye, however, knew what he was doing: "[I] stepped into the lion's den."

Nye did it so he could spread awareness about the academic opportunities children are denied because of such beliefs.

"They [creationists] will not have this fundamental idea that you can question things, that you can think critically, that you can use skeptical thought to learn about nature," Nye said on "MidPoint." "These children have to suppress everything that they can see in nature to try to get a worldview that's compatible with the adults in whom they trust and rely on for sustenance."

Nye finds creationists to be "unreasonable" in that how can they ignore proven empirical and scientific evidence that the world is not 6,000 years old.

Nye adds that young children are indoctrinated into these beliefs from when they are 10 years old. Nye says that his book is a "primer of evolution," that these are "things we should all know about but apparently most of us were never exposed to in science class."

The scientist has a word of advice for teachers.

"Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science, and when you understand it you will know more about yourself and every other living thing on Earth," Nye said. "We are made of atoms that were blasted out of ancient stars, and so we are somehow at least one way that the universe knows itself. That fills me with reverence, and I hope it fills teachers with reverence. I hope that the passion associated with reverence they can imbue into their students."
