"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Even a reflection is light. It is just not the source. The Bible is still correct, these angry people are not.
Is this for real? :p
Some times I just close my eyes and shake my head.

Just kidding, really... ; )
This came from bsalert.com? Well that sounds pretty accurate. I don’t buy this story for a second.
I bet they think moonbats were created by God, too.
Ignorance is Bliss.
To those people - Ignorance is also a Blister (on their backsides).
If you don’t use the brain God gave you, you get everything you deserve.
The Moon could be still seen as a light--light comes to Earth from the Moon, even if the light originated in the Sun.
I believe the moon reflects the sun. I also believe that this story is a fabrication.
BSAlert has no link, and the newpaper apparently earlier linked took the story down.
Doncha think it MIGHT be that the paper realized it has published something incredibly wrong? Occams Razor and all that, it sure seems more likely that a paper printed some BS story, then took it down than the entire town of Waco turned out to hear Bill Nye, then booed when he “suggested” that the moon didn’t emit light.
Do you really think people who are that backward in their thinking would make a point to go hear Bill Nye lecture?
Nah. Until I hear a first hand withness, this is BS.
Woman, why did you go to the presentation of "Bill Nye, The Science Guy"? You're not going to get a sermon there.
The reminds me of the old joke about a Southern Politician stumping through a small town in a Southern State: "My opponent is a Homo sapien and his wife is a Thesbian."
Folks, look at the source of the story: BS Alert.
I was selling an elementary social studies text, and was accused of trying to teach evolution because of a picture of ancient drawings on a cave wall.
If this story is true, these people do not represent the mainstream of the conservative movement, the Republican Party, or the state of Texas.
I sincerely hope this story is made up. BTW, it’s been posted on DU and the twerps there are having a field day.
I wonder if this woman was wearing a burka. As I recall, the moon is central to the Mooselum religion. Making it dependent on the sun which is often associated with the Christian religion. I’ll find some moon references later when I’m more awake. Hey, it’s Saturday morning.
Good old Texas knuckle-draggers.
I’ve done some searching and found this story posted all over various political websites and blogs, both rightist and leftist. But there doesn’t seem to be any other source than this BSalert. Has anyone seen any other news sites that have this story?
