I just bet the Bill Oreilly haters are having a blast... Elevating themselves to genius status by denigrating someone else. I'm soooo impressed.. (yawn)

Interesting. But I think the person who wrote the article is missing the point...and made a few mistakes as well as the video does say he knows the tides come from the Moon. But he's putting it all on a challenge question that no one is answering for him, actually a few...where did the Moon come from? He's asking the question, in my interpretation, and wanting someone to supply a fact-based accounting. So not a theory...not a likelihood. Wants to know without the slightest doubt the entire process of how it got there? Lots of theory floating around, not facts though. That's his point. Faith goes both ways and operates both in religion and in science. So all he's saying you have faith in a theory of how it got there, and that we're just the "lucky" place where all the accidents happened so intelligent life sprang up here and only here (as there are no facts to the contrary), so the metaphorical you chooses to have faith in some theoretical process, he chooses to have faith in a God based process.

btw, I dislike the guy (well his program anyway since I don;t know him).

The author discredits himself with his first line. "Look, I know. Bill O’Reilly is a far-right ideologue who couldn’t grasp reality with a hundred meters of velcro and a ton of Crazy glue.
