I just got an email from a lecturer of mine who’s going to be talking about the “Atheists’ distortion of the History of Science” in a couple of weeks, which I thought might be interesting to anyone living in Melbourne.

Dear “God ….” fans,

I’ll be speaking to the Atheist Society in a couple of weeks.
