Wow wow wow saturn has 65 moons does that mean “god” cares about saturn more, I fuckin swear everything that comes out of someones mouth and sounds so inherently ignorant, I can’t help but to laugh. Bill go to a college level astronomy class, in fact go to a middle school (preferably in a blue state) they will tell you how this “holy” moon got there. He sounds like a catholic man of Galileo’s time.

The moon is just Artemis watching over us. Everyone knows that.

God flushes the toilet and thats how the tides work..

It’s not that you believe God exists thats offensive, O’Reilly. Einstein even said that science started off in an attempt to prove God exists. What’s offensive is that he uses God as a in a self serving way. I also believe that Einstein said that if life was proven to exist in other planets, it would be the worst thing to happen to humanity. I don’t believe that’s true. I believe it would be the worst thing to people like O’Reilly, who would have to question their pretentious, aggrogant lives and their true place in the universe.

What I don’t understand is why there has to be an argument over the whole topic. Why can’t we all just believe what we feel is right and leave the others alone to believe what they find, where ever it is they find it, as long as they aren’t violently attacking or hurting anyone? Why can’t we peacefully respect others beliefs? Nothing Bill or anyone else says is going to have an “Oh my God”(no pun intended) effect on anyone else. Making someone feel stupid for their beliefs does not spread the word of any God or religion.

Our moon ‘got there’ when an object smashed into the Earth, blasting matter and a good chunk of the planet’s core into space. This material then coalesced into an object that became trapped in the Earth’s gravitation pull; and begun orbiting the planet. The Sun ‘got there’ when a large gas cloud collapsed in on itself, the resulting friction ignited a massive nuclear explosion. Some matter was blown out into a plane of material that, similar to the process outlined above, formed the planets, moons and asteroids in our solar system. The rest, mostly hydrogen and helium, was sucked back into the resulting star; the Sun. We found out almost a hundred years ago that all galaxies are moving apart from each other at an exponential rate. It doesn’t take a scientist to realise that at some point, these things, the ‘stuff’ of the universe, were closer together. This is one of the basic principles behind what we unfortunately refer to as the “Big Bang”. These things though do not disprove the existence of a God, it simply shows how parts of the physical world ‘got there’.

Uh, Bill? Mars has two moons.
WHOOPS!

and people religiously watch this guy. wtf is wrong with america?

The best response to this video comes from Keith Olbermann. “Good grief, I hadn’t seen this! http://bit.ly/f7UzIC Billo defends not understanding tides, by explaining he doesn’t understand the moon”
about 1 hour ago via web It is a shame that I have to find his humorous statements on his twitter account now as opposed to seeing him on MSNBC.

How’d the moon get there? Obviously God put it there, Bill. But where did God come from? Huh? Where’d he come from? Huh? Can you explain that to me? Where’d God come from? How’d he get here? How?

I know any non-atheistic view gets lots of hate on the Internet, but I think the idea that there is a God deserves some merit. I know Bill’s pretty arrogant in his argument, but, even with scientific explanations for most things in this world, you’ve got to wonder why all of this exists. And I’m not saying that there is a God up in the sky who made the world in 7 days a few thousand years ago. But doesn’t the contrasting idea that there is no rhyme or reason for our existence sadden you a little bit? Even though I’m not a strong believer in God, I would like to think that there’s some force greater than any human that holds us responsible for our actions at some point or another. Whether that’s karma or some other “force,” that is up to your interpretation.

All Bill “proves” is a willful, fundamental lack of understanding of cosmology. I suppose you could back everything up to the moment of the big-bang and say, “what caused that, HUH?” To which I’d reply “natural forces Bill”. It doesn’t require the invention of a supernatural deity. Now I don’t claim to know this with certainty, but it is the best explanation I’ve seen.  Our understanding of the natural forces at play in the universe is limited by our ability to observe them from our perch on a speck of dust near the rim of a slightly larger mote we know as our galaxy. Our planet is utterly insignificant on the scale of the universe we’ve been able to observe thus far. This is an extremely threatening idea to some that shakes their core beliefs in God, religion, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and Unicorns. Heck, unicorns are probably more likely than the rest. It causes true believers to get angry and defensive instead of None of us will know if there is a deity until we “shuffle off this mortal coil” assuming our passing is of the least bit of interest to a putative creator. Seems… unlikely.

Apparently he missed a semester of astronomy class at Harvard.

Its no wonder they hate progressives, these people are fucking REGRESSIVE…

ha! i shall answer your question with more questions! BAM! … and the universe is explained. :D

The emotional intensity attached to any proposition, is no indication of the truth value of that proposition.

A belief held with a fundamental misunderstanding of the opposing position. No one say we came from ‘luck’ or ‘chance’. We came from a process which weeds out undesirable traits, and makes beneficial traits more prevalent, over time.  Your gonna tell me that out of the 10 sextillion or so stars, that we’re the only one with life? huh? Huh? Are you Bill. Wonderful to see he’s an even bigger douche off the air.
