realthogThis time from "poppy", commenting on zap2it's article about Kirk Cameron's dimwittedly ignorant (and, separately, repugnant) remarks concerning Stephen Hawking (whose physics we only take seriously because he's crippled, according to Cameron). Quoth "poppy":
Why is it the scientific world always demand evidence that.God is real, yet they never provide tangible evidence that evolution, global warming, or now climate change is?
To display multiple signs of willful ignorance in so few words takes quite a lot of doing.

Joking aside, it's a very pertinent example. Cameron's facile "how can something come out of nothing?" question has been answered to him a thousand times or more, including face-to-face, yet he still pretends that it hasn't. Likewise, O'Reilly with his idiotic tides claim. The continued pretense can only be in an attempt to deceive -- i.e., it's a lie.
