"In a video for Premium Members of his website, Bill O'Reilly doubled down on his statement that the existence of the tides is definitive evidence that God exists.
The Fox News host took a lot of heat for claiming that science cannot explain why the tides occur in such a regular fashion when in fact the tides are the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the moon and the sun and the rotation of the Earth.
O'Reilly remains unimpressed:
Thus the score remains O'Reilly - Zero, Science - Infinity."

In fact, prevailing scientific theory is that the moon formed as the result of a massive impact with Earth; Mars has two moons; etc, etc. Bad Astronomy has an exceedingly thorough examination of just how wrong O'Reilly is for those interested in the gory details.
Thus the score remains O'Reilly - Zero, Science - Infinity."
