It was nice to see one of the greats of the Skeptical community, PZ Myers along to one of our third Monday, Skeptic café events. Melbourne is a long way from home for PZ, he resides in Minnesota.  For those that don’t know, P.Z. Myers is an active blog writer.  PZ’s blog called Pharyngula covers topics [...]

An event organised by the British Humanist Association with Professors Richard Dawkins and PZ Myers discussing… well, what you’d hope for: science and religion! Excitingly, there was also a protest against the New College of the Humanities, which Dawkins is involved in – you can see a video of the protesters occupying the stage as [...]

By Jennifer Keane PZ Myers is a ranty, mentally disturbed individual. Too long we have sat on our hands and done nothing, while this mentally deranged menace continues to spam twitter and the internet by posting frequent opinions that I disagree with. It’s time to lock him up and throw away the key, before he has a little psychotic break, loses his disturbed mind, and hurts someone pure and good and innocent. Seems harsh? Well, I invite you to read PZ’s latest blog, and see if you can’t spot a few similarities. PZ’s blog deals with a ...

From Mn Atheists:

Drs PZ Myers and Greg Laden will be our guests on today's show. PZ is in the Minneapolis/St Paul metro for a pair of talks this weekend. First he will be presenting "The Evolution of Cooperativity" to the Humanists of Minnesota on February 19th, and on the 20th he will be explaining the broader topic of Evolution to the Minnesota Atheists.

PZ Myers is not shy of controversy, as he seems to invoke and generate it at will through his blog, Pharyngula. He writes about atheism, science, politics from a liberal perspective, zebrafish, critical thinking, pirates, sexism and poorly reasoned e-mails. Greg Laden joins PZ for a question and answer session in our studios. Greg generates his own share of controversy at his own blog.

Sunday's show is more open ended than our usual format. Greg is culling questions posted in the comment section at this post from Greg Laden's Blog. I [...]

In it, PZ discusses the distinction between wearing “offensive” clothing and its purposes as a form of useful protest or as a [...]

Which is true:

PZ Myers is a witless wanker who peddles pablum

or

"I shall be no friend to the appeasers" -pz myers

... kind of a false comparison. But the debate is real. This time it's

Massimo Pigliucci vs. PZ Myers

Two people that i like and admire fighting it out over an important issue. What could be more fun? The popcorn will be ready in a minute.

Six months ago, I had almost no interest in home schooling and then that villainous rogue, PZ Myers,  unknowingly dragged me kicking and screaming into the debate. It started, strangely enough, with a good deed.  I’d met a fellow atheist on Facebook.  She wanted to go to a lecture in Brisbane, but didn’t have transport.  [...]

Don’t get your knickers in a wad – that’s not a sarcastic or snarky post title. We really mean it. That’s because PZ has a post up today about science and morality, and it’s one in which he doesn’t lean so heavily on that crutch of demagoguery for once. Here are some of the best parts…for [...]

PZ Myers has a blog called Pharyngula—perhaps you've heard of it?

He gave a talk on junk DNA at Skepticon IV in Sringfield, Missouri (USA) a few weeks ago. I disagree with a few thing he said,

1. Some intron sequences are essential for splicing whereas PZ implies that they are all junk.
2. Regulatory sequences make up less than 1% of your genome and not more than exons as PZ says [What's in Your Genome?].
3. Half or your genome is DEFECTIVE transposon, not active transposons. Active transposons are not junk. Defective transposons are a form of pseduogene and they are definitely junk. The distinction is important.

But the main point is that the IDiots predicted there wouldn't be any significant amount of junk in your genome and that prediction has been refuted.

Over at Pharyngula a week ago, P. Z. Myers, echoing an argument by Steve Zara, explained why there was no evidence that could convince him of a god’s existence. I responded, claiming that there was some evidence that could convince me—at least provisionally—that a divine being really existed.  And I proposed an admittedly fanciful scenario [...]

PZ Myers PZ Myers gave my favourite presentation of the convention – comedians included. Like Leslie Cannold, he energised the crowd with his ‘take no prisoners’ style. I defy anyone to sleep through a presentation by PZ! No polite accommodationism for PZ. The mild-mannered, bewhiskered professor from the tiny town of Morris, Minnesota, ambled onto [...]

PZ Myers has quickly become one of my absolute favorite living humans for so many reasons. One such reason is that like me, he clearly sees no need to apologize for who he is and what he believes and I love that!

See, for a long haired metal-head musician freak such as myself to go around carrying on about the evils and absurdity of religious beliefs or defiling bibles and Korans, all of which I do, is not such a big deal. Most just write it off as a stunt done for pure shock value and assume that [...]
