As even most elementary-school graduates know, the moon reflects the light of the sun but produces no light of its own.
But don't tell that to the good people of Waco, who were "visibly angered by what some perceived as irreverence," according to the Waco Tribune.
Nye was in town to participate in McLennan Community College's Distinguished Lecture Series. He gave two lectures on such unfunny and adult topics as global warming, Mars exploration, and energy consumption.
But nothing got people as riled as when he 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."
The lesser light, he pointed out, is not a light at all, but only a reflector.
At this point, several people in the audience stormed out in fury. One woman yelled "We believe in God!" and left with three children, thus ensuring that people across America would read about the incident and conclude that Waco is as nutty as they'd always suspected...." bsalert.com

dumb as a box of rocks is right! so blinded by their faith that they can't see the truth... I'm not religious, but even if I were, science explains a lot of things for religious people, and the explanations still fit within the model of their beliefs, for them not to listen to the science guy is just plain defiance and ignorance.
Those kinda people don't want to listen to what you have to say because your wrong no matter what unless those words are coming directly out of the 'good book,' and even those are up for interpretation, twisting around the words to best suit your own agendas.... Crazy people there I swear!
