The sky is blue because air is a powdery blue material, and when the sun shines on it, you can see this blue color. Each molecule of air behaves like a bluish-looking mote of dust. Stare upwards on a sunny day, and you're looking into a thick cloud of air. (There really is no "sky" up there. You're not looking at a blue surface. Instead you're just seeing the Earth's layer of blue air against the blackness of outer space. )

He doesn't come right out and say that he disagrees with the idea of scattering--he seems about to assert that each individual molecule would produce the scatter and show a "powdery blue" but he doesn't really go that far.
