== Attempts to prevent creationists being heard ==
On numerous occasions, anti-creationists have attempted to prevent creationists being able to promote their point of view by attempting to have their venue bookings cancelled or by heckling the speakers during their talks.
=== Werner Gitt ===
In October 2008, protesters attempted to prevent German creationary scientist Dr. [[Werner Gitt]] from giving a talk titled ''Why I as a scientist believe the Bible'' at Leibniz University.
The protests followed unsuccessful attempts to pressure the university administration to cancel the talk.
As the talk was about to start, the protesters unfurled banners, one with the German for "Creationists, go to hell!" and another with a foul expression, then started chanting and blowing whistles to prevent the talk from going ahead.
Police were called by the organisers, but the two, then five, officers were ignored by the protesters, who were only removed after another 20 police officers arrived, allowing the talk to go ahead an hour late.<ref>Wieland, 2008</ref>
