OREILLY GIVES US THE FAUX VERSION OF DEITIES ;TIDAL PULL

One of the smarter, though more obnoxious, bullies, pontificating on FOX is Bill O'Reilly. Recently, he brilliantly refuted a guest athiest by declaring that "[...the tides go in and out..thus proving the existence of God...]". And rested his "case".

(Sigh)

The moon, of course, controls the tides.

O'Reilly, in deference to that fact, has a new wrinkle in his science agenda. Acknowledging the tides are controlled by the moon, he says, "so what?" As he says: "How'd the moon get there? Can you explain that to me? How come we have that? Mars doesn't have it. Venus doesn't have it. How come?" ~ (Sigh, redux)

Actually, Bill, as any amateur astronomer knows, Jupiter has lots of moons, 63 in all, several of which you can see through a good pair of binoculars. One of them, Ganymede, is actually larger than Mercury. Saturn has 62 moons. Uranus has 27 moons. And yes...., Bill, Mars actually has two moons of its own.
