Heh, the guy is PZ Myers, another biologist interviewed for this movie under false pretenses, I think its clear from his blog post that the laughter induced from this enormous load of fail and irony was payment ennough. Anyway here is a bit more about the Expelled issue by him.

Anyway here is something a poster from another forum had to say about this, and i think it sums it up perfectly is as few words as possible

First it is funny to expel someone from a movie called "Expelled!". Second, both Myers and Dawkins are extremely well known for criticizing creationists. If you are going to expel one, you shouldn't let the other one in.Trying to ban people who can find errors in the movie is bad enough, being seen to be incompetent even at that is worse.

I know Dawkins, I even read his latest books recently, but PZ Myers is a no-namer for me.

Can't know them all!

Very true that, but being unemployed leaves me iwth a lot of free time so I keep myself up to date on the mater.

Has Dawkins published his review yet?

antikristuseke · 03-22-08, 05:21 AM

There is an upcoming 90 minute video of Dawkins having a conversation with Myers discussing event, probably contains the movie review aswell, as can be heard from this short clip. Comes off as being a bit too smug for my taste, but then again, it would be hard not to be smug under theses circumstances.

Allso here is a review by Skatje, the son of PZ Myers
