PZ Myers is in the Bible!
http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2011/07/im_in_the_bible.php
A reader ran my name through one of those bible code programs — you know, those really silly exercises in goofy divination that juggles lines of the bible around to find some arrangement that reveals words and phrases — and it turns out I'm in there. See?

Gosh, I guess the Bible must be true then.

Then the next step in this program is that it extracts a numerically related verse, somehow, that tells you deep things about the word in question. This is me:


Respect my biblical authoritah! My very, very tired biblical authoritah…we got home from TAM at 4am, which means my brain is almost misfiring enough to find bible code crap somewhat weakly interesting. Almost.

For those with iDevices I did a quick search and found that the app used is iBibleCode OT and iBibleCode NT. PZ Myers is found in 2 Chronicles, Proverbs 20, Jeremiah 23, Mark 8, and Revelation 9.

4. That verse is a favorite among Christian hypocrites.
They can engage in name-calling without actually having to call the name.

5. I know you are but what is PZ Meyers?
Don't you think that posting that verse actually points it back at you automatically? Kind of ironic, imho.

10. Itch?
Naw, we've just all seen some pretty hypocritical, nasty Christians throw that one out when they have nothing left. It's a sure sign.
