There is an interesting account out of Waco, Texas where Bill Nye “The Science Guy” was booed for saying that the Moon does not generate it own light — in contradiction to the Bible. This will likely end any dream of Nye to open a new Bill Nye “The Religion Guy” line of products. The speech reportedly occurred in 2006 but the controversy was rekindled after critics cried foul at the removal of the story from the local newspaper’s online archive.
Nye ran afoul of the faithful by remarking that it is not true that the moon generates its own light as opposed to reflecting light. This contradicted Genesis 1:16, which says quite clearly (if only Nye bothered to read it) that “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.” Fortunately, there were educated people in the audience who proceeded to boo Nye and walk out. One woman with three children reportedly screamed “We believe in God!” while storming out.
Now what is particularly interesting is the Waco Tribune broke the story and ran an article with quotations from the audience. However, it has been removed from the online site, as noted at an atheist site. However, it has now been returned, here. Why would the newspaper remove a clearly important story with international interest? If the story was false, there should have been a retraction and an investigation. If it is simply embarrassing, the newspaper is engaging in self-censorship. Either way, the newspaper owes people and explanation.
In the meantime, Nye needs to answer for his rejection of biblical science. Recently, Texas legislators moved to help create a master’s in creationist science. Perhaps Nye should be required to get a real science degree in creationism as opposed to that ridiculous Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering from Cornell.
Next he is going question the fact that the sun revolves around the earth and find himself in a papal trial.

Just fyi to Christian’s. The Bible was translated from Hebrew to Latin to English. It also had parts missing. Another point is if you read the different versions like King James version you are reading an edited Bible by King James and not the real scripture. Christians can not deny science such as anthropology and the theory of evolution, astronomy and biology. Its proven and likely was an act of good because the big bang theory is a kind of obsurd theory. Remember religion is a theory that is unproven just like evolution and there is nothing wrong with faith and the values of Christianity.
Nice to see that people enjoy being servants, grovelers and straight up unable to grow up (can’t imagine life without a father/god figure) and think for themselves. Makes me want to toss my cookies just considering that some of you religious nuts passed a grade school (it boggles the mind how you can still be that ignorant and lacking self-guidance). “The bible says…the bible says”… just as pathetic as a comic fanatic defending a superhero.
