A creationist called Moshe Averick asks “Seriously, Aren’t Atheists Embarrassed by P.Z. Myers?”
In case you wonder why anyone lacking belief in gods should be concerned about one particular atheist, don’t. It doesn’t make much sense to me either. Nobody’s atheism depends on what PZ Myers says, neither does the fact that there is no evidence for supernatural beings depend on anything he says.
Averick responds somewhat belatedly to a lecture PZ gave in 2009 about the unscientific Creationist nonsense argument of complexity. You know, no Boeing assembled in a junkyard, the bacterial flagellum, or a cell or eye too complex to have just poofed into existence without a designer, a.k.a. god, that kind of thing. These people have no idea about evolution, they start with the conclusion of “goddidit” and work their way backwards from there. Anyway, of course Averick didn’t get PZ’s analogy, which he explains here, and hilarity ensues.
But yeah, thanks for asking Moshe, you see we’re not so much embarrassed by PZ Myers, but more by stupid closeminded Creationist fools like yourself, who eternally confuse spouting dogma with doing actual science to see where the evidence leads.

M.Averick is true to his moniker.
He makes a living out of peddling facile “controversies”.
Ignore the man behind the curtain.
