Arrgh, I can't believe I sat through the whole thing

By pharyngula on February 27, 2011.

I just suffered through a few hours of Terry Mortenson, Answers in Genesis stooge, babbling and lying on stage here in Morris. I'm going to recuperate for a while with a nice cup of tea and a little light reading, so don't expect me to post on it now. You can browse my twitter feed for the short choppy reactions I put up during that horror, and I'll try to summarize it tomorrow.

Although…he's also speaking tomorrow night. I suppose I'll have to suffer again, Christlike, for you.

Oh, by the way: the most annoying part of the event is that they announced at the beginning that there would be no Q&A, because Mortenson's voice was giving out. Then cancel the crappy lecture part, and turn it over to questions! The guy is giving 7 lectures in two days — I think we've have our fill of this loon just standing up there and lying at us.

I get email
At the end of February, I've mentioned that a flack from Answers in Genesis will be appearing in Morris. I guess the local hosts of that event are a little worried that I might breathe fire over their little church, so they just sent me a note. Professor Myers, I am the local coordinator for the…

A representative from Answers in Genesis will be speaking here in Morris, Minnesota! And none of the scheduled talks conflict with any of my classes! Not that I'll go to them all — I do have limits on how much BS I can be served before gakking up chunks — but I'll go to some, and will live-tweet…
Lies wrapped in piety
I sat through another horrid performance from our creationist visitor, Terry Mortenson. He lied and lied and lied for a couple of hours again, and once again refused to answer questions. Once again, I twittered my way through it. My student, Kele Cable, was also there, and he has a blog entry where…
