Bill Nye Booed in Waco for saying Moon doesn't have its own light.

That means the moon shines of its own luminescence, not reflected sunlight.
...well, you asked.
on smart phones & such.
I have ever read. 
How can people that hopelessly fucking stupignorant (a neologism combining the word "stupid" and the term "pig ignorant"
be trusted to tie their own shoes much less drive a car, reproduce or vote.
We are done as a society.
Glad you reposted...I think. Yep. I think I may just cry. Totally thought the moon was a big glass ball full of fireflies. 
Edit 'cause spelling is just as scary as science.

Teach the controversy!
Dammit, the CORRECT question is whether there's a VEEBLEFETZER or not. 
"I've yet to meet a theist who wants to have that "debate" and is willing to even define their terms"
When I am unable to become acquainted with a particular demographic, I usually lay the blame with myself rather than the demographic itself. More often than not, it's usually for just one reason-- I didn't really try, but it makes for a good bumper-sticker.
However, I'm fully confident that you have indeed attempted to in many ways...

This is pretty funny too
The lesser light, he pointed out, is not a light at all, but only a reflector.
At this point, several people in the audience stormed out in fury. One woman yelled "We believe in God!" and left with three children, thus ensuring that people across America would read about the incident and conclude that Waco is as nutty as they'd always suspected.
That is what we are dealing with.

is disrespecting it.

How is that light generated? AFAIK, there are two ways to generate light - chemical (think bioluminescence) and thermonuclear processes such as fusion (i.e., the sun) and fission (happy old Mr. A-bomb). Were the moon to produce light thermally, the astronauts who landed thereon would have been instantly incinerated down to an atomic level. Were there a chemical process, evidence of said chemicals would have almost certainly have turned up in the hundreds of pounds of moon rocks brought back to Earth, which they most assuredly did not.
These dumbasses are so stupignorant, scientifically and otherwise, it's a small miracle that they can tie shoes or work zippers correctly.
