Summary
"Evolution is one of the most powerful and important ideas ever developed in the history of science. Every question it raises leads to new answers, new discoveries, and new smarter questions. The science of evolution is as expansive as nature itself. It is also the most meaningful creation story that humans have ever found."—Bill Nye
Sparked by a controversial debate in February 2014, Bill Nye has set off on an energetic campaign to spread awareness of evolution and the powerful way it shapes our lives. In Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation, he explains why race does not really exist; evaluates the true promise and peril of genetically modified food; reveals how new species are born, in a dog kennel and in a London subway; takes a stroll through 4.5 billion years of time; and explores the new search for alien life, including aliens right here on Earth.
With infectious enthusiasm, Bill Nye shows that evolution is much more than a rebuttal to creationism; it is an essential way to understand how nature works—and to change the world. It might also help you get a date on a Saturday night.
Critic reviews
“With his charming, breezy, narrative style, Bill empowers the reader to see the natural world as it is, not as some would wish it to be. He does it right. And, as I expected, he does it best.” —Neil deGrasse Tyson, Ph.D, host of COSMOS
“This gracefully written book provides a tour through not just the big ideas of evolution, but why evolution is such a captivating idea scientifically, philosophically, and emotionally. Written from the heart--but science always comes from the heart with Bill Nye.” —Eugenie C. Scott, Ph.D., author of Evolution vs. Creationism: An Introduction
“Bill Nye has written a wonderfully clear, readable, and enjoyable explanation of what evolution is and is not. In his casual, humorous style, he...describes the gigantic mountain of evidence that demonstrates that evolution not only happened in the past, but is happening in real time.” —Donald Prothero, Ph.D., author of Evolution: What the Fossils Say and Why It Matters

Unmistakable enthusiasm and knowledge
Nye's approach to arguing in favour of the science-based, fact-led approach to understanding our existence is commendable.
He clearly juxtaposes the most prominent arguments deployed by both sides and, it must be admitted, with a degree of frustration and incredulity, dismisses much of what Creationists have to offer to the debate.
He ably deals with the misrepresentation of science, most prominently the Second Law of Thermodynamics, by those who see God's will in all acts, and relates, with some humour, various stories from his own experience of dealing with such people in real life.
He plants his flag firmly in the punctuated equilibrium side of the Stephen J. Gould et al/Richard Dawkins et al argument, proposing that Gould's work makes most sense to him given the evidence to hand.
This is probably one of the best quick studies of the this contentious debate available on Audible.

I couldn't put it down.
Brilliant, informative, fun and I learned a few things too! I listened to it at work from start to finish, I've only done that with a handful of books.
Excellent!

Would you listen to Undeniable again? Why?
Yes, I would need to listen to it several times, there is so much to it
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
I think it would benefit from another narrator, its a bit smug

Brilliant in every way
Any additional comments?
There is a reason Bill Nye is the prominent figure in mainstream science that he is. He is extremely witty, humble and intellectual.
This is NOT the book (/audio book) to convince a disbeliever in evolution of its validity. It is less concerned with arguing contradictory claims, and more concerned with highlighting simple beauties that may not have been considered by an evolution lover/thinker/scientist. A delightful and thought provoking listen.
The science guy does it again

Very enjoyable
I read this after The Greatest Show on Earth by Richard Dawkins. I probably should have read them the other way round as this was easier to follow.
Bill Nye has a lot of enthusiasm which comes across in his narration.
Very informative and interesting.

Excellent Popular Audio Book
If you could sum up Undeniable in three words, what would they be?
Great Science Book
What did you like best about this story?
Always interesting. One of the best audio books I have listened to in a long time. Some books I listen to are clearly padded, but this one is packed with thought provoking science themes on a wide range of earth science topics. Absolutely first rate!
What about Bill Nye’s performance did you like?
The narration is first class. He explains things in clear and simple ways.
