Moving Day and a Math Conference

There's a big pile of bloggable items sitting on my desk, but they will have to wait. I will be moving in to my new house tomorrow! Very exciting.

Hi Jason,

Nice site, I first came upon it during the Kramnik insanity last month. I am what you might call a Dawkins disciple, especially if I get worked up. An interesting blog has popped up on Netscape about Bart Erhman's book about how the Bible is not an original. I am having trouble defending my beliefs in evolution/science/astronomy
against the preaching types. Maybe you or your readers want to pipe in for me or for yourselves? Here is the link to the blog http://www.netscape.com/viewstory/2006/10/22/who-changed-the-bible-and-…
