PZ Meyers admits he’s not the politest person in the world. In this talk he throws about some rather abrupt insults at the creationist movement and why he is justified in doing them. He mentions his talks with Dawkins
Prof. Paul Zachary Myers works with zebrafish in the field of evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo). A selfavowed godless liberal and outspoken atheist, he is a vocal skeptic of all forms of religion, superstition, spirituality and pseudoscience.
He is quoted as having “nothing but contempt for Intelligent Design”, arguing that it is “fundamentally dishonest”. In 2009 Myers was named the American Humanist Association’s Humanist of the Year.

I was wondering of there's an age restriction to this show?
Msg from Abeo: The performance will not be suitable for under 12’s.

We were lucky enough to see Infamous last night and hubby thought this particular show was the best tour so far. We usually spend the car ride home discussing what we’ve experienced and how Derren fooled us but this show is so cleverly put together we were stumped as to how a lot of things could possibly be achieved.
Derren was on top form never missing a beat, he’s always had the talent and ability to entertain his audience but this show will emotionally engage you from the very beginning …you just can’t help but be moved by some of the things he does and says……I’m not going to say anymore as Derren always asks us to “keep the show’s content a secret” and I would hate to spoil it for other people especially as Derren’s performance always stays with me long after the show has “ left town” and I know a lot of people feel the same way.
@ Robert Perkins …yep I agree…we had to resort to eBay this year but I’m so glad we did ….it was well worth it. Have you tried to get tickets for London? Compared to some of the ebay prices it may work out cheaper.
We both fell in love with Oxford by the way…awesome place beautiful atmosphere.

Good to see Derren and Andy on a project together again. Anyone know if it will it be filmed (for those of us not in the UK)?

This is going to be special, mark my words (not like the other ones weren't) get in fast. You'll be infamous.

I work in a C of E school and they desperately try and push the creationist view as an “equally valid” alternative to the actual facts. When you are interviewed you are asked outright if you can uphold the school’s “Christian ethos” in your science lessons, the message is quite clear.
Off topic:
Prof PZ Myers looks a lot like Axel Rose did at Reading Festival.
@Emmylou79 – so what did you say, that you agree in Adam and Eve etc and that children should be taught the new testament as a non-factual unscientific ideology?
And the Lord did sayeth unto the serpent ‘Sorry mate, I know you were possessed by Satan, but I’ve got to take yer legs’
We should definitely teach this stuff in schools -what we lose in scientific understanding we’ll gain in top quality comedians and satirists.
