[walldude]

[niyad]

1. you mean it isn't the gravitational pull of the moon?

[walldude]

4. Nope. Can't be explained. So there is a god.

And this man was tapped to interview the President of the US.

We have sunk so far it's embarrassing.

[hedgehog]

6. Pfft! the moon ain't much bigger than a quarter, how could it cause the tides?

[Submariner]

2. And he went to Harvard?

How embarrassing.

[PBS Poll-435]

8. And he was a teacher...

:scared:

[Confusious]

3. Uh, the moon

I think I learned that in 6th grade. At least by 9th.

[Motown_Johnny]

5. No one can explain it, except for Sir Issac Newton

[baldguy]

7. .

[derby378]

9. He must REALLY think his audience is stupid

O'Reilly probably holds his audience in such contempt that he thinks they're all dumber than a box of hammers dropped on top of a load of Michele Bachmann's panties.

[Swamp Rat]

25. BINGO! He knows they're 'morans', and will watch and obey everything he says, 'cuz he's one of them.

In a pig's eye.

[Angry Dragon]

31. bachmann says she shows support for the troops and wars

by going COMMANDO

[derby378]

37. If she supports the wars, then is she still eligible to enlist?

That way, she can take a more hands-on approach to the wars and let someone competent take her seat on Capitol Hill.

[TorchTheWitch]

36. uh, they generally are that stupid

Which is why he has an audience at all.

[Politicalboi]

10. Doesn't gods arms get tired

Of making waves? Makes no sense. LOL!

[midnight]

12. I'm sure she takes a break.....

[midnight]

11. It's difficult to watch/listen to Bill O'Reilly... I consider myself a Christian and I'm not

insulted by his guest, or his billboards. The guest is polite, and articulate..And he doesn't have to lose control to show he is powerful. The point is " This guest can say religion is a scam" It is up to each of us to use our own thinking to decide... Sounds like O'Reilly is not really a believer and is scared.... This Atheist exudes peace.... God has much work to do with Bill...

[Motown_Johnny]

13. side note, Solar gravity also affects tides

not to as large an extent but there are essentially two sets of tides.


KO kinda just misspoke

[neverforget]

14. I thought we blew it up?

Or was it made of cheese?

[Motown_Johnny]

15. OK, now after seeing the clip I am ROFL

arrogance and stupidity are a dangerous combination

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. And the guy he was interviewing got it wrong

It is Hera... (She is the godess of the moon)

[Faygo Kid]

17. Keith's "Worst Person" just now for that one.

Well deserved, BillO. Yet again.

Beck wonders about that Tide detergent stuff, too.

[EarlG]

18. Fuckin' magnets

How do they work?

[Viking12]

19. Gawd did it.

[derby378]

26. How does God work?

Do you have to wind it with a crank or use a punch card? Or does it fall under "mysterious ways" that require guys in funny hats?

[Motown_Johnny]

28. If it is God, does it mean we don't have tides on Sunday?

'cause ya know an all powerful omnipotent being needs his rest

[abelenkpe]

20. Makes me want to cry. nt

[pa28]

21. The look on David Silverman's face was worth a thousand words.

"Tide goes in tide goes out?!?!"

:rofl:

[felix_numinous]

22. That loud slapping noise

was every science teacher doing a facepalm.

[kestrel91316]

23. Sun comes up, sun goes down. Nobody can explain THAT, either.

That Gawd, he's teh awesome.

[AlabamaLibrul]

24. I learned about the moon re: tides in sixth grade. What a dumbass.

end of transmission

[RedCloud]

27. I bet some smart ass space alien knows and is holding back on us.

[kestrel91316]

29. Ok, now here's the deal: not only is Billo so stupid that he personally doesn't

know what causes the tides, but he is so stupid he actually thinks no one in the world knows.

It burns.

And this man is allowed a public forum for his ideas????

[Motown_Johnny]

30. And he is out there trying to tell us Climate Change isn't real

[kestrel91316]

32. That, from a man who probably doesn't know what makes the sun rise and set, either.

[progressoid]

33. Fuckityfuckenhiemer, that man is a dumbass.

Ugh - I wish I had missed it.

[Motown_Johnny]

34. adding a little more info (mostly just kicking)

http://www.energyquest.ca.gov/scientists/newton.html

^snip^


It was while he was on a break from Cambridge that Newton started thinking about gravity. Scientists already knew such a force existed, but Newton found the formula to describe how much force any two bodies will exert on each other. Since he couldn't prove his theory with the mathematics available, he invented calculus to do it for him. He explained the mathematical theory on tides under gravitational pull from the sun, moon and earth. He discovered the secrets of light and color and showed how the universe is held together. He made all of those amazing discoveries within 18 months, between 1665 and 1667, though he didn't publish his theory on how gravity works until 1687. Some people call that book, The Principia, the greatest scientific book ever written. He also invented the reflecting telescope

[Manifestor_of_Light]

35. Gravity - IT'S THE LAW!!

Furthermore, Samuel Pepys name is on the title page of the Principia Mathematica, b/c he was also a member of the Royal Society.

Newton took Kepler's elliptical orbits and figured out the laws of motion.

Leibniz was developing calculus at approximately the same time as newton.

38. I see someone already beat me to the obvious magnets joke. n/t
