→Creation Museum buffoonery
In August 2009, Myers led a group of over 300 atheist and agnostic students on a tour of the [[Creation Museum]].<ref>[http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=8280168 "Creation Museum: Is This How World Began?"

== PZ Myers on abortion ==
See also: [[Atheism and mass murder]] and [[Atheism and morality]]
PZ Myers says he is not only "pro-choice", but is he said he is "even willing to say" that he is pro-abortion.<ref>http://www.evolutionnews.org/2010/11/pz_myers_on_abortion040971.html</ref>

Myers again, on abortion:
'what's at stake is a mere embryo, so it's no big loss if it's flushed and incinerated, and I don't have any illusions about whether this is deciding the fate of a human life -- it's not. There's no person...'
Myers' ugly assertion -- 'it's no big loss if it's flushed and incinerated...[t]here's no person -- demonstrates the New Atheist moral vacuum. [[Atheism and morality|New Atheists insist that there is no objective moral law]]; morality is nothing more than an evolved adaptation, or what each of us decides, ad nauseam. Yet if there is no objective moral law that transcends the individual will to power, then power, not justice nor mercy nor even love for one's own child, governs human conduct. Atheist morality boils down to this: '... because we can'. That has been the moral code of atheism in power for a century.<ref>http://www.evolutionnews.org/2010/11/pz_myers_on_abortion040971.html</ref>
