You cannot respect what you don't understand. Asking them to respect it, without understanding it, is just promoting dogma. Sadly, many of the reddit scientists want this. Bill Nye / Neil Tyson are at the forefront of this anti-scientific movement. The actual scientific discoveries and methods should be promoted, not the topic.
Nye is an anti-intellectual, because America hates intellectuals, and for centuries. An actual intellectual would never gain popularly. Take a look at how anti-intellectual America is: all folklore is about strength/endurance (Jonny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan) and not intelligence (Homer's Iliad, European folklore). They parade singers and athletes around and pay them millions-to-billions. Name one highly paid thinker. Nye's only way to way to rise in America was to appear just smart enough, but not too smart. He is the useful idiot.
If he were smart, why would he appear on that show in the first place? Noam Chomsky never appears on these sound-bite clip shows because there is no discussion, it's just yelling the loudest and last. The OP to the video you posted does the same shit in his own video (probably having been raised by these kinds of shows). He does this, despite having a monologue format. He just keeps raising his hands in the air and complaining with the use of sensational statements like having a brain aneurysm, after showing a 2 second clip.

Nye cannot be anti-intellectual while promoting an interest in science for millions of people. I think you are the one on a dogmatic trip regarding science purity.
Like:
I'm sorry what? If I go somewhere and there's a religious ceremony or something, I cannot respect it out of ignorance? If your mother dies I cannot respect that for it has not happened to me? If you tell me you are a neuroscientist top of your field, I should mock your opinion because of my general ignorance on the subject?
Still though, I do agree with some of what you said, it is bad to turn science into an idol, at most we should idealize scientific thinking, not past results for example. And as for the video I shared, I've seen a couple others from this kid and they are decent, although yes, not a lot of production value and not amazing stuff perhaps.

Bill Nye is a useful idiot who pushes other peoples political agendas: http://www.blacklistednews.com/Bill_Nye%3A_'We_need_carbon_tax_to_redistribute_wealth...need_gov't_to_run_things...everyone_else_should_shut_up'/42984/0/38/38/Y/M.html
He is very much anti-science, anti-intellectual, and uses SJW to get people to side with him (mere dogma, no intention to dissect or discuss).
