My take was that it was more than just a few, I didn't get the impression that they were angry that they thought they were being talked down to. It seemed to me that they were upset that Nye's talk was at odds with their belief.

I may have exaggerated a bit, but it has been my experience that there is often no middle ground. A truly religious person is often on a life long search for enlightenment. Often these are the exception.

These are Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The days of the week were named after these objects. Only one of these, the Sun, produces its own light. The rest shine by the diffusely reflected light from the Sun. However, you can still refer to each of these objects as a source of light Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
