What Bill O'Reilly Doesn't Know

This video should serve as an educational counter measure to Bill O'Reilly's "Where did it all come from?". If he intends to place his thoughts on this public forum, he should expect to receive such responses. All clips taken under fair use.

I wasn't aware Bill had a channel until I read it here: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2011/01/31/bill-oreilly-tidal-...

Thanks to Phil Plait (The Bad Astronomer) for writing that blog.

Here's the link to Bill's channel if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/billoreilly

Not bad... But this shit is all guess work. YOU dont know for a 100% fact an answer to any of Bill's question. I dont believe in God. But I do believe in aliens. Thats all im gonna say here...

@wiiagent It's kind of imossible to know anything 100%. I don't know 100% if the sun will rise tomorrow, but I have lots of evidence to be pretty sure it will. So I wouldn't call similar evidence compiled for centuries by some of the most intelligent people in history "guess work".

That image from Mars and your narration over it was surprisingly touching.

@phxsns1 I'm glad you think so. When you look at things a certain way it can be.

This is without a doubt, one of the greatest videos i have ever seen. Well said brother! Have you heard any response from that pinhead?

@wiiagent

In real life, we do not separate information into either 100% certainty or random guess work. That is a very naive worldview. Nor is "that's just guess work" a valid counter-argument to the points made. You would need stronger evidence suggesting that it is false to replace it.

@wiiagent Actually, science supports the idea that aliens exist. It doesn't say that, for a matter of fact, aliens in other solar systems DO exist or have visited our planet. But it would be extremely unlikely that, in the entire universe, only one planet, relatively young at that, has lifeforms of some kind. Also, science doesn't claim 100% irrefutable facts for most things. That's why they're called theories. And, even, laws may be disproven at some point

Re the tides.

I recall being at the beach on holiday with my family as a kid of 6 or 7, a 1/4-or-so Moon visible up among the clouds, and my folks taking the time to tell me how it affects the oceans.

Dad was an ex-navy school-teacher, Mum an ex-nurse. Neither were scientists so they didn't get into the whole shebang with gravitational constants and anti-tides, but as a result I grew up with the "Moon-Tides" thing as simply another cultural meme.

O'Reilly must have had a shit childhhod..
