Bill Nye The Science Guy Dead [On Twitter]

Bill Nye's death is a hoax

Bill Nye “The Science Guy” was a trending topic late Sunday, but it wasn’t over his anti-creationism YouTube video. Twitter claims that the famous kid-friendly scientist had died are completely unfounded. Bill Nye is still alive and well.

It all started late Sunday night, when a rumor started on Twitter stating that Bill Nye had died, with “R.I.P. Bill Nye The Science Guy” becoming a trending topic. Thousands of reactionary messages poured out afterwards, mourning the scientific icon’s passing. But rest assured, internet. The PBS children’s show host is alive and well.

Though the International Business Times was not able to reach Bill Nye’s reps for comment on the matter, none of the major news organizations have reported on Nye’s death, which is usually a pretty decent sign that a report is indeed a hoax. Additionally, website GossipCop, which is known for “busting bad dish” on the internet, said that the reports were “100% false,” and that “Nye is not dead.”

Instead, he joins the likes of Justin Bieber, Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, and Reese Witherspoon, all celebrities who have been the subject of various death hoaxes on the internet this year.

Nye has actually been hard at work lately, making several statements to the media regarding politics and creationist science (of which he is a staunch opponent), and throwing his weight behind incumbent presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Until he steps forward to settle Monday’s death hoax debate once and for all, here are the best Twitter reactions to Bill Nye’s supposed death:

    Here in TN, they have taken steps though new legislation to allow creationism back into the classroom. This law turns the clock back nearly 100 years here in the seemingly unprogressive South and is simply embarrassing. There is no argument against the Theory of Evolution other than that of religious doctrine. The Monkey Law only opens the door for fanatic Christianity to creep its way back into our classrooms. You can see my visual response as a Tennessean to this absurd law on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/04/pulpit-in-classroom-biblical-agenda-in.html with some evolutionary art and a little bit of simple logic.

    Dead or alive backing Obama is just wrong for the country…shame on you Bill Nye for favoring socialist views of worst POTUS ever, read Obama's books people he hates USA wants us to be just another country, doesn't want us to be leader of the World, is that want you want..wake up to his lies, he doesn't love this country the way most Americans do, he sees USA as usurper of power, not deserving of it, witness his pathetic apology tour after he ascended to Preisidency, why do you think he doesn't care about the massive amount of debt he has saddled us with.. bring us down…

    If you go against the religious teachings of Creation Science Fiction, the religious will declare you dead and start another religious superstition. Bill nye is not perfect, though, as he still believes in some religious based science fiction superstitions.

    This article clearly states that Bill Nye didn't die, that it was all a hoax….anyone who is commenting "RIP Bill" either didn't read the article, or has a bad case of dumbass…just sayin…

    you're dumber than the people who believed Bill Nye was dead. You know we can see your name and face right? Why would anyone publicly utter such stupidity? So are you still waiting to see the President's birth certificate? Are you waiting to see of you can catch him coming out of mosque? You must have smoked some bad weed right before you posted that.
