Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

Even though Bill is going to Hell because he is a ring licking papist, he OWNED this atheist by showing that the moon doesn't make the tides move, GOD DOES:

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

AMEN!

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

Bill O'Reilly could have pointed out many other things as well, such as the fact that the Sun levitates in the sky. No man can levitate the Sun in the sky, so obviously God is doing it! Or how about the fact that we don't fall up! How do you explain that, Mr. Atheist? Also, have you ever seen the size of a spider's web? That obvious wouldn't fit inside the spider's butt! Where does it come from? It comes from God, that's where!

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

Mr. O'Reilley made MINCEMEAT out of the insolent little God™mocker!

I will never understand why guests like this who DO NOT BELIEVE push themselves onto Mr. O'Reilley's show. It's just the same as marching into a Christian's home and attacking our beliefs.

They are a guest, and guests should remain respectful.

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

Praise the Lord! It is good to see that O'Reilly is as full of Godly Wit as ever.

As it is written in Job 38:

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

I often recommend the last four chapters of Job to the atheists who come here, I doubt any of them bother to read it though.

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

Oh God, I laugh at you guys... The tides are moved by the gravitational force between the Earth, Sun and Moon... Look it up... Educate yourselves...

So here is a questions for you guys...

if "God" causes the tides then how can we so accurately predict tide tables months and years ahead of time? Oh that's right because we know the rotational schedule of the Earth, Moon, and Sun and how their gravitatio*nal pull affects each other. And why then can't we then predict everything "God" causes.

This was not journalism*, it was theater, and not even a good show on O'Reilly's part. It only showed 'OReilly is an unintelleg*ent, radically religious man with his own TV program.

I don't know where you guys went to school, but we learn this in 5th grade how the tides are moved...

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

So why do tides happen twice a day? Explain that one smartass. Yeah, we all know that the "scientists" say it's the pull of the moon, we've just asked why and how and found out they have no real answers.

Did you bother to watch the video?


Oh, and as far as American Atheists, tell me did O'Hara run off with the money or was she murdered? Either way it really shows "atheist morals".

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

Easy... Like I said, it can be explained...

During the course of your day, the oceans are constantly moving. Every minute they are flowing, making the water rise and sink. This change in the level of the water is called the Tide. The tide moves verticly, or up and down, but if you did not have something to measure this against, you might not know it. On a beach though, one might actually see the tide creeping it's way up to your towel where you are laying. Often on beaches people move themsleves back, did you ever wonder why? Because the tide is rising. The tide rises and falls at a pretty steady rate. In some places there might be a tidal range of about three feet in around eight to twleve hours, but in places like the Bay of Fundy the range for the tides is as great as forty feet in about six hours! A Roman scholar, Seneca, realized that the basic motion of the tides had to do with the moon. When there were unusually high tides, he observed that the moon, earth and sun were all in line. We call the phase of the moon when this occurs, the new moon, or the full moon. During the new moon, you could look up in the sky for hours, but you would never see the moon. It is in between the earth and the sun, allowing no light to reflect off of it, so that we can't see it. A full moon is when the whole moon is lit up, a large bright circle in the sky, now the earth is in the center of the sun and the moon, and the moon is fully reflecting the suns rays back to us, we can see it perfectly. We refer to the rising tide as a flood, and the falling tide as an ebb. The word flood comes from a word used on a thirteenth century englishman's tide table, he uses the word flod. His tide table also proves that the tide follows the moon. In 1687, Issaic Newton dicovered what we refer to as Newton's Law of Gravitation. He said that everything was being pulled by the gravity of another object, and everything exerts it's own gravitational pull. In this way, the two largest heavenly bodies that are near to us, are the sun and the moon, therefore they are exerting gravitational pull, not only on the earth, but the tides. Because the ocean is a liquid, it is able to flow, the moon pulls the ocean, and the tides follow the moon. One might think that the Sun would rule the oceans, it's so large! Not so, though, distance also plays a part in gravity. The distance from the earth to the sun is 93,000,000 miles, the distance from the earth to the moon is only 239,000 miles. The moon is much closer to us, and so the Moon Control's the Tides. But exctly how does the moon control the tides? There are many parts the moon plays in controlling the tides, there are also parts played by other important forces, these are called the tide producing forces. High tide is basiclly when the moon is most over head. If we were to have a world with no land interfereing with the flow of tides, directly under the moon, the water would bulge towards it's pull. There is one high tide. At the excat oopposite of the earth there is another high tide there. Why, you say, would the water also bulge outward away from the pull of the moon? The reason for this is what we call centrifugal force. Centrifugal force tends to propel things outward. Centirfugal force, the motion of the earth's spin on it's axis, and the pull from the moon, overpowers the earth's gravity, and the water bulges out. There are normally two high tides during the day. So we said, the sun is a junior partner in the flow of the ocean, it's power is less than half the moon's, and all it basiclly does is increase or decrease the moon's power over the oceans. Everyday the tide rises fifty five minutes later than the day before. This has to do with the moon's revolution around the earth.


This is what religion does... I'm sure you also believe the Earth is only 10,000 year old... lmao, no wonder other countries are surpassing us in everything...

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

What are you nuts? The Earth is around 6,000 years old.

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

Ah, I see centrifugal force.

Yet according to Virginia Tech It is important to note that the centrifugal force does not actually exist.

a child on a merry-go-round is not experiencing any real force outward, but he/she must exert a force to keep from flying off the merry-go-round.

So going back to our science section, why are we not thrown off of the earth if the Centrifugal force is that strong?

See what I mean by it doesn't make sense? You explain one phenomena with centrifugal force, yet when we point out that it doesn't affect other things, you then try and tell us "that's different".

I guess I just don't have the cognitive dissonance to be an atheist.

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

I thought everyone knew what causes the tides.

When God created the earth 6000 years ago, when he poured the waters into the oceans they naturally sloshed a little bit, just like the water in your bath tub does when you get in. 6000 years later, the seas are still sloshing a bit, and they will continue to do so for a very long time. The sloshing in your bathtub dies out quickly because the bath tub is so small, the oceans are HUGE, the sloshing will last a long time.

It's all part of God's plan!

REJOICE!!

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

LMAO, really... keep living in that world... LMAO

The age of the Earth has been determined to be 4.54 billion years (4.54 × 109 years ± 1%).This age is based on evidence from radiometric age (often called radioactive dating) of meteorite material and is consistent with the ages of the oldest-known terrestrial and lunar samples.

I'm sorry your dad made you drop out of school when you were in the first grade, I'm sure he didn't want you to know the truth...

by the way, Santa Claus is not real...

Also, everything is made of Atoms, just in case you skip that part of the school lesson...

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

"Yet according to Virginia Tech It is important to note that the centrifugal force does not actually exist."

Yet the source you included here it is not from VT... it is from a made up website by a redneck... so yeah, keep telling yourself that...

Next!!!!

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

My mistake, Virginia.edu is THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, not Virginia tech which is vt.edu. Big, honkin mistake on my part.

But hey, you want to call them a bunch of rednecks be my guest

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

Back er down a notch sport, Santa is a Catlik thing. We deal in the real world not some made up fantasy. You need to get a grip on reality, God created the tides.

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

Not sure who you're talking to, but I have a BBA and a BSc, but I'm sure that they're from more "redneck schools" since they were accredited universities.

For the life of me I cannot figure out why you people can just follow what people say blindly. I sat in those classes with my mouth shut, I regurgitated everything they said because I wanted the degrees, but in my heart I knew it was garbage.

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

So then why is it your David Silverfish Silverman, President of American Atheists, couldn't offer such a simple explanation?

He's one of your Great Leaders, you follow him blindly and send your money to American Atheists, and yet he can't explain your "the moon, herp derp" explanation to O'Reilly? :haha:

He can't even get his story straight, how pathetic is that?

Personally, I think Silverman is the atheist version of a Poe. He works overtime to make atheists look even MORE stupid, petty, and hateful than they actually are, so Christians know that all atheists are evil, intolerant monsters that must be destroyed.

I mean, this is his idea of "outreach":

http://friendlyatheist.com/wp-conten..._n-550x136.jpg

And he put it up in ALABAMA! Why would he do that, if not to make Christians despise his organization and raise funds for the War on Atheism?

:hmmm: Maybe I will send them a donation. They could put up a billboard in North Salem . . . :thumbsup:

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

This is the proper explanation for the tides, unlike the preposterous theory that the moon is somehow involved. Here are three glaring mistakes in the secular scientist's thinking which makes their precious theory fall apart.

1) How can the moon pull water away from the Earth when the Earth has a stronger gravitational pull? One thing that these secularist idiots kept saying in the 3 experiments thread is that the the Earth is a sphere and gravity pulls everything towards the center. Okay, for argument's sake, let's assume that crazy idea is true. So if the Earth, which is much more massive and stronger than the moon, is pulling water towards its center, how can the moon overcome it? We know the Earth is stronger because the moon revolves around us (according to their theory). If the moon was strong enough to create tides, it would mean that the Earth would have to be revolving around the moon. No secular scientist would admit that.

2) How can the moon overcome the sun's gravity, when the sun is even stronger than the Earth? This just gets even more absurd. The Earth is stronger than the moon, but the Sun is stronger than the Earth. How the heck could the tides be created by the moon and not the sun? The scientists will say "Well because it's only 280,000 miles away." (It's actually only about 500). But okay, even at that, it would be the same idea presented in the first question: We would be revolving around the moon if that were the case.

3) If the moon is strong enough to pull water from a far-away planet, how come there is an absence of gravity on the moon? It cannot contain an atmosphere, and if the Apollo hoax is to be believed, you can jump around like bunny rabbits on pogo sticks. The moon is so weak in gravity it can't even hold a 200 lb man to the surface, let alone weightless air particles. Yet, yet, this same object is somehow able to pull billions and billions of cubic tons of water, hundreds of thousand of miles away, and beat the gravitational field of the Earth!

The problem with the above three mistakes is they try to have it both ways in gravity. If object A is more powerful than B, A will exert influence on B, but not the other way around. A smaller object cannot affect a larger object. They say if you jump out of an airplane, it's the Earth's gravity pulling a smaller object (you) to the ground. Well, why don't we affect the Earth's gravity? Why don't we push the Earth back?

The only logical conclusion is that

• The Earth is flat, like the Bible says.
• The Sun and Moon are both nearby and small objects, about 500 miles away, which revolve around the Earth
• Tides are caused by the Bathtub Theory.

Re: Bill O'Reilly OWNS Atheist: "You can't explain the tides!"
 

I always thought the tides were caused by the wind blowing the water on-shore.
