It isn’t easy being a poster child for anything, including science. Love by most, really disliked by others, Bill has had a fascinating journey from television personality to political activist. Celebrated for making science cool but also strongly maligned for his lack of pedigree by that same community. A science father to many young people, but never married or a father due to a hereditary genetic abnormality that he was afraid to replicate. The documentary spent a lot of time focused on his feud with Ken Ham of the Creation Museum which was interesting and amusing.
