What really pushes my buttons are average well educated people who are science stupid. I’m not talking about not knowing Einstein’s Theory of Relativity by heart but basic science like how magnets work. Talk show host Bill O’Reilly has a problem with knowing basic science and there is video to prove it.
On his 01/04/2010 FOX “news” program “The O’Reilly Factor” he said this:
“Tide comes in tide goes out, never a miscommunication. You can’t explain that. You can’t explain why the tide goes in….”
His guest was David Silverman, President of American Atheists. The topic was the new billboard American Atheist sponsored in Huntsville Alabama that had the text “You KNOW they’re all SCAMS” along side the major religious symbols.
In his rush to defend religion, O’Reilly picked the wrong item to “prove” religion is real. Many people try to argue that if you can’t explain something then it must be “God” but people try to pick something that is in fact not easy to explain or currently can’t be explained.
In you might be wondering, ocean tides are influenced by the gravity of the Moon.
Here is a video of the “interview”:

This is why we need a rededication to strong rational science education. Mom’s don’t let your kids grow up to be science stupid like Bill O’Reilly.
Bill is a clown,he has sold his imaginary soul to the devil i.e R. Murdoc . He is nothing but a shill ,and that's how he is viewed by anyone with a brain.
Tides come in Tide go out ? Even Bill O'wryly can't be that stupid ?
Fox News is to Journalism what KFC is to fine dining .
Actally KFC is better than FoxNews at least you can stomach it better.
