Fundies got up and left the room when Bill Nye, The Science Guy, told them that the sun is just a star and the moon isn't.

The Emmy-winning scientist angered a few audience members when he criticized literal interpretation of the biblical verse 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.”
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.

One in seven women will be stricken withbreast cancer in her lifetime and the more we raise, the more theTarrant County Affiliate of the Susan G.
