Ah yes The Return Of Wackos In Waco!
From the April 6, 2006 Waco Tribune:
I am still working out what the hell her response has to do with the FACT that the moon reflects light and is not a giant light bulb? What the hell did you expect from a man nicknamed the SCIENCE GUY, lady..... The Emmy-winning scientist angered a few audience members when he criticized literal interpretation of the biblical verse Genesis 1:16, which reads: ÂGod made two great lights  the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
He pointed out that the sun, the "greater light," is but one of countless stars and that the "lesser light" is the moon, which really is not a light at all, rather a reflector of light.
A number of audience members left the room at that point, visibly angered by what some perceived as irreverence.
"We believe in a God!" exclaimed one woman as she left the room with three young children.
It seemed most in attendance were pleased to hear Nye speak, and some were even awed by the presence of a childhood icon.
"How cool is that, to be face to face with the man, Bill Nye?"said Jared McClure, who worked sound and video for the event. "And he's funny, too."
Or was that your point entirely. Did you go there with the intention of making a "media" spectacle of your self? I think so. Your feigned self-righteousness is only out ranked by your monumental ignorance.
