PZ Myers expelled again. Expelled lies again. (updated)

At this point in time, it surely is turning into a comedy of errors on the part of the Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed team. This time they have been shown to be little more than either outright dishonest people, extremely lazy researchers or both. It all surrounds a certain phone conference that occurred…

Girl Killed by Ignorance and Stupidity.
