Whaddya know about tidal action, hmm? Me, I've seen the flood tide at the Bay of Fundy and I assure you that there was no outside influence other than the Moon and the geological layout of the bay. No wonderous sky monster pumping them in, then bailing them back out. Bill O'Reilly, of FOX "news" doesn't agree -- that dolt must have skipped the latter half of grammer school due to not being able to find the door. To his house.
Humans are clueless on cause of oceanic tides, Bill O’Reilly claims

What causes oceanic tides to crest and fall? According to conservative opinion host Bill O'Reilly, it's a mystery.
It's not actually a mystery, but to the Republican Fox News Channel's favorite grouch, tidal movements are apparently proof positive that an invisible man is pulling the strings of reality.
He made the revealing statement during a recent segment of The O'Reilly Factor while challenging Dave Silverman, president of a group called "American Atheists." That same organization was responsible for a billboard in Huntsville, Alabama that calls out to atheists who may still be attending religious ceremonies.
"You KNOW they're all SCAMS," the sign reads, promoting a regional meeting of non-believers. "American Atheists: Telling the Truth since 1963."
O'Reilly, who claims to be a Christian and a "culture warrior" on a crusade against ideas and trends that displease him, took notice of the group's outreach and invited Silverman on the show.
Their discussion was nothing short of heated.
"I'll tell you why [religion is] not a scam," he said. "In my opinion -- alright? Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can't explain that. You can't explain why the tide goes in."

The only mystery here is how O'Reilly manages to breath without being reminded. Unfortunatly, Silverman failed to laugh the moron off the premesis; I think he was so flabbergasted at that utterly ignorant (and stupid to the bone!) statement that for the moment at least, he lost the will to live.

| Seems to me that those who take such pride in bloviating should be better informed on topics that have been understood for years. Or maybe that's just an unreasonable expectation on my part for pin heads. |
