“Okay, how did the Moon get there? How’d the Moon get there? Look, you pinheads who attacked me for this, you guys are just desperate. How’d the Moon get there? How’d the Sun get there? How’d it get there? Can you explain that to me? How come we have that and Mars doesn’t have it? Venus doesn’t have it. How come? Why not? How’d it get here?”
- Before even delving into the scientific explanations for O’Reilly’s nonsensical questions I would like to ask a question of him. If science did not have any answers to these questions why must the answer be, that God created them? This is the problem I have with most of these faith based questions. Some that have a faith in God try to wrap the answers around the worlds questions to fit in with that faith. It starts from a unreasonable premise. If the questions started from a legitimate premise of just wanting to know the possible answers to these questions, OK I could understand a bit of that. But that is not what happens, if science does not have a sufficient answer for the faithful they deduce that to mean God must have had a hand in whatever the particular subject. It is a faulty premise to even begin a debate on this issue with Bill-O and this is man who went to Boston and Harvard. The school does not make the man and that is apparent. You either subject yourself to reason or you do not.
