Mooning Science
O'Reilly once used the Earth's tides as an example of how nature's complexities could only be explained by divine intervention. Then, a viewer dusted off his old earth science textbook and informed the Fox News host that the moon causes the tides. ...
The Fox News hosts asks -- and this is paraphrased: How'd the moon get there? How'd it get there? How'd it get there? And why doesn't Mars have a moon, hmm?? ... Why doesn't science have an explanation for the existence of the moon?
Ignorance as argument!
Oh, wait a minute! Glenn Beck, Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin ...
Neeever mind!

You know, I was thinking, there have been all these very smart and very capable women who have struggled long and hard to advance the cause of their sex, to try and break through the glass ceiling, to earn the respect that is their due for being able to to do as well or better than men - then along come Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann to undo all that good work.
It must make them want to spit. I know it would me.

On the positive side, it's not like Palin and Bachmann are really dumber and more ignorant than Republican men in these days when Republicans view ignorance as a positive virtue.

O'Reilly wears so many hats... this time he was a theologian; another time he was a scientist. He had as a guest some famous biologist (whom I can't remember now) to try to explain evolution. Silly scientist! BillO had to explain to the scientist what science is: "There's 24 hours in a day--now THAT'S science" roared O'Reilly, while the scientist, whom O'Reilly had granted the last word, could not make himself heard as Herr Professor Doktor BillO ranted on.
