I’ve always known that Bill O’Reilly, a man who once tried to tell his viewers that his “We’ll do it live!” moment of pop-eyed rage was entertainment of some sort, was stupid.
I didn’t realize that he was as stupid as… well this video.
BillO thinks that atheists can’t explain the tides. Seriously.
I think that someone needs to take him into the back yard one night, give him a copy of the Richard Scarry Big Book of the Sky and then let him work it out for himself. It might involve words of more than one syllable if someone has to explain it to him.
Here's a hint, Bill - it's big, it's round, it's shiny and it's in the sky. No, I don't mean Rush Limbaugh. It's the moon.
(And I love the “Jesus, I’m talking to an imbecile” look on the face of the guy from the Realists Society. Priceless.)

But, the tides? Seriously? That's his proof of god?
maybe wait until O'Reilly is off the air...or are the people in England laughing their asses off?

pretty succinct and more or less as I remember it from 9th grade earth science.
The one percent figure for atheists is ludicrous. 2o% might be more accurate.
I'm aware that this is Fox, etc. But this isn't debate, either.
This is two ill-equipped people grappling with their ignorance.
O'Reilly at least gets paid.
David Silverman lost because he was unable to remember the word "gravity." Nor could he answer the question : Who put up the "anti-atheist" billboards "everywhere."
These two people deserve each other.

Also, tom, you can't be serious. Why would anyone be jealous of O'Reilly? I would rather be a dead squid floating in a sea of oil than be Bill O'Reilly. He's an utter idiot. He's not a good human being. I want people to respect me because I deserve it, because I'm a good person. Not because I'm on tv.
I think we can criticize without being jealous. Heavens. There's so much to criticize. It's almost too hard to choose.
Back to the hilarious lack of knowledge about the moon ... did he not finish second grade or something? That's just sad.
It is no shock to be that religious people are scientifically ignorant, especially the religious right that BillO represents.
