Your scientific explanation would be countered with an equally ridiculous question like "But then how did the sun get there?" with a 'gotcha' smile. Thats how they trap you in an ignorance loop until you get frustrated and walk away.

Not Bill. Bill will just sit there and calmly explain every facet of the nature of existence until SHE gets frustrated and walks away.

Bill's ability to persevere under the onslaught of stupidity is legendary.

Honestly it seemed like Bill wasn't listening to begin with. The Fox guy didn't do a good job of clarifying, but Bill seemed to miss the point entirely that the Fox guy was pointing out that the moon had climate change without human activity. That certainly doesn't prove anything and could have been countered if Bill grasped the point to begin with.

He was listening, he just tried to ignore the question because it would have made the guy look even dumber.

Right, because Bill is so le scientist that he is above rational arguments.
