There must be a god, because I don't know how things work

David Silverman appeared on Bill O'Reilly's show this week, and brought out the stupidity in dopey ol' Bill. He gave his usual justification: "The tides go in, the tides go out. The sun goes up, the sun comes down." The clip below is notable for two things: it contains the multiple examples of O'Reilly dragging out this non-explanation, and it's got Neil deGrasse Tyson explaining tides.

I love how O'Reilly gets that smug look on his face every time he brings up the tides. It's adorable. You'd want to hug him for his cute and funny story…if he were two years old.
