on vieraillut useissa suurissa kreationistien konferensseissa ja kirjoittanut kokemuksistaan kirjan:
http://www.amazon.com/Among-Creationists-Dispatches-Anti-Evolutionist-Front/dp/0199744637/pharyngula-20
PZ Myers kirjoittaa tuosta kirjasta mm. näin:
"This isn't the book where the scientist dismantles in detail every bogus argument the creationists throw at us. Instead, it's a personal account of the audiences and speakers at this event, and there's something that comes through loud and clear, that I've also experienced: they're all so damned nice. They haven't got a leg to stand on with the nonsense they're talking about, but they try to make up for it with friendliness and manners and all these other psycho-social arts of persuasion. They don't compensate for being wrong, but you can see how they manage to win over so many people who don't know better.
It's a valuable perspective to have. Know your enemy; don't underestimate them, and don't demonize them as evil. But be aware of exactly how they manage their image, how they cajole people into believing in ideas that are horribly wrong, and what they are precisely saying. Jason's book is an essential personal view of our foes."
