Oh, this was some sweet snark from Colbert, tackling O'Reilly's stupid claim that he could PROVE God exists because... get this... the tides and the sun run like clockwork. No, really, he said it.

BILL O'REILLY (7/6/2007): I just don't think we could've lucked out to have the tides come in, the tides go out. Sun go up, sun go down. Don't think it could've happened.

Now like all great theologies, Bill's can be boiled down to one sentence.

There must be a God, because I don't know how things work.

The point is, there is a God, because we don't know what causes the tides, and we can never know what causes them. ... So get used to it, atheists. There is a God, he created the tides, and no one can explain what causes them.

NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON: Actually, Stephen, I can.

Yep, special guest appearance by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson to debunk Bill O'Reilly!

Nation, Bill O'Reilly has done it again! This week, Bill did what centuries of philosophers before him could not do. He proved the existence of God. Papa Bear was debating the president of the American Atheists association, David Silverman. And might I suggest to Mr. Silverman, if you're trying to win Christians over to atheism, it's probably not the best strategy to look like the Devil.
