Every now and then, you here some silly event in the US. This one though, is especially worthy. Bill Nye “The Science Guy”, decided to give a talk to the public, and was booed for suggesting that Moonlight was actually reflections from the sun:
Trouble started when the children’s entertainer brought up Genesis 1:16, which reads: “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,” and pointed out that the lesser light was actually a reflector.
At this point, several people in the audience stormed out, including woman with three small children who shouted, “We believe in God!” and left.
Read the rest here. Its occasions like this that make me really worry about the state of education. Give parents some basic education… please!
