PZ is a God Botherer 12 Oct 2009 Now I just knew PZ Myers was an accommodationist.

Evolution When philosophers really embarrass themselves 13 Mar 2008 I have just sat through one of the most teeth clenchingly bad philosophy talks, given on phylogenetics by a philosopher who has never read anything sensible on phylogenetics to phylogenetic systematists. One of the last mentioned leant over to me and asked “Does this guy know anything?” I had to… Read More
That is the funniest post-title and post that I’ve seen in regards to this Mr. Diety episode! Well done.
You know he seems much politer to the deity in person than he does on his blog. He didn’t even call him a mythical sky fairy once!
That’s Paul in person. Quiet, polite and reasonable. The only sign of the madness is his love of all things cephalopodic.
ROTFLMAO… This was the Mr Deity Episode I’d hoped would come out of that meeting. I have to say, PZ was kinder and gentler than I’d imagine him to be. oh, and LOVED the banana!
I always got the impression he is a caring person. I have been guesing his style on his site is designed to appeal and motivate a younger reader. He is an extremly gifted communicator. What struck me about the episode is his voice, the other guy is projecting his voice out of his nose. Its not very effective and would sound even worse on stage. P.Z sounds like the one with the pro. vocal training. He must be very effective in the lecture hall.
I would say Mr. Deity’s voice is very effective at making him sound like a twit. Which is the point, after all. I like the Ray Comfort / banana reference at the end.
Pretty amusing: “Lucy is in the details”, “P-Zed”, squid, and a comforting banana. Mzzyzxpks wasn’t bad… — Martin
