Piercing a Communion wafer with a nail and throwing it in the garbage, as one crusading biologist recently did, does science no favors. –
The Salon reports PZ Myers is a true believer, a science crusader with the
singled-minded enthusiasm of a televangelist. A biologist at the
University of Minnesota at Morris and a columnist for Seed magazine, Myers has earned notoriety with his blog, Pharyngula,
in which he reports on new developments in biology and indiscriminately
excoriates those he views as hostile to science, a pantheon of straw
men and women that includes theologians, journalists and churchgoers.
He is Richard Dawkins without the fame or felicitous prose style.
Currently, Myers is under fire from his university and an army of righteous Catholics over his self-proclaimed “Great Desecration” caper.
