You may have heard recently about the time on his show that Bill O'Reilly admitted he doesn't know how oceanic tides work, calling the phenomenon "unexplainable." Making the whole incident even more delectable, O'Reilly was using the mystery of the tides to browbeat his guest -- an avowed atheist -- into admitting "God is real." The guest, to his credit (no doubt caught off guard by an unanticipated scientific discussion of tidal dynamics), countered by saying: “It doesn’t matter if I can’t explain it — that doesn’t mean that an invisible magic man in the sky is doing it."
Well, O'Reilly's apparently been feeling a bit chagrined about his ignorance, because here he is in a must-see video addressing the issue. In typical wingnut fashion, rather than admit he was wr---, he doubles down on the idiocy.
"Meh," O'Reilly says, "So the moon causes the tides. So what, you pinheads! Who put the moon there?"
