Bill Nye

[Radbrad]

Did you hear that Bill Nye was jeered in Waco Texas for saying that the the moon did not emit light but only reflected the suns light in contradiction to genesis in the bible. One women yelled out. "we believe God"!

So what? Who Cares?

Begs the questions: Are you just making this up? Why would you think - or ANYONE think Mr. Nye's comments CONTRADICT the bible? Who is "One Woman?" And finally, what would her belief in God have to do with Mr. Nye?

I smell a troll.

So what? Who Cares?
If you're really a Chrisitian you should care. Any self-styled Christian who would deny proven scientific truth out of literal belief in the Bible is, quite simply, a heretic.

If you're really an adult, you'd learn to f'ing READ. :)

NOBODY is denying science, silly boy

Are you sure? Assuming the account is true, why would anyone jeer about an explanation of how the moon reflects sunlight?

First off - you're assuming it HAPPENED.

Secondly - NO RATIONAL Adult Christian feels the reflection of the sun off the moon contradicts scripture.

[hjmick]

It is true, it happened over a year ago.

Which makes me wonder what relevance it has today except to perhaps provoke some Christian conservatives on a board that has a membership roster that which consists primarily of conservative Republicans, who in most cases call themselves Christians as well.

Now, as an Agnostic with one foot in the Atheist waters, I see no purpose in trying to demean people for their beliefs.

Well, what about Genesis 1:16?
God made two great lights — the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
Now to play fundie's advocate, here: given that the moon is only a reflector, how can it be a light?

Look up in the sky at night. What is the brightest object you'll see? The Moon. The Moon LIGHTS the night-sky because it exists and reflects the sunlight back.

You are making NO point; you have no argument the scripture and science differ. You're playing a semantics game.

[Hagbard Celine]

Bill Nye's show was cool. I remember coming home from school in the afternoons and watching it when I was a little kid.

So what made the Waco crowd so upset? :poke:

Here's when Waco ran the story - April of 2006

This story originally appeared in the Waco Tribune, but the newspaper has mysteriously pulled its story from the online version

Oh joy, another Christianphobic. :rolleyes:

Great show! I watched it with my daughter almost everyday, and "Wishbone" too. The Magic School Bus was good as well.

Don't forget "The Big Comfy Couch". That clown chick was hot! Right, Major Bed Head?

[Mr. P]

Don't forget "The Big Comfy Couch". That clown chick was hot! Right, Major Bed Head?

Never even heard of that one.

[glockmail]

Never even heard of that one.


The Big Comfy Couch is about a little clown named Loonette and her doll Molly with their Big Comfy couch. The couch has everything known to man inside it - be it an umbrella, a hat, or a kitchen sink! Co-stars include Granny Garbanzo, Auntie Macassar (Seasons 1-5), and Major Bedhead, who pops in for visits. And unbeknownst to Loonette, two dustbunnies, Fuzzy and Wuzzy, live under Loonette's couch.

The Big Comfy Couch ran on YTV from 1993-1997. http://www.tv.com/the-big-comfy-couch/show/11266/summary.html

this may surprise you, typo, but there are as many unbelievers who are silly twits as there are among believers

Doesn't surprise me at all. Religion isn't one of my enemies: ignorance and stupidity are.

[Guernicaa]

Smart guy.

We just use to make fun of him during the millions of times we were forced to watch him in middle school science classes.

[Monkeybone]

i remember that Couch show....but it's not like i watched it or anything......

i do remember watching Bill Nye, wishbone and sometimes even magic school bus. those were come home from school shows. even one call Ghostwriter, where kids solved mysteries with this glob of light 'ghost'

[dan]

I never watched much Bill Nye. Mr. Wizard was my science guy.

[Monkeybone]
