The curious case of Sarah Salviander.

She's intelligent, attractive, highly educated, successful, gainfully employed, and happily married, the epitome of modern success in the Western World:



She's said that her Mom & Dad were ex-Catholics (like me), who (de)converted to atheism; she said that she was raised as an atheist, but while in college, discovered some sort of generic theism, and after falling in love with a Christian man from Finland who was raised in an atheistic home, she gave her life to Jesus.  Now, she has two websites:

And, especially:

https://sixdayscience.com/

Two seeks ago I sent an email to her "six days" science website after noticing links to WLC's RF site:

Professor Salviander,

I am surprised that you, an accomplished astrophysicist, would link to William Lane Craig's website, a man who called the number zero "problematic":

But, first, listen to Craig pontificate on transfinite arithmetic, a subject that he has never studied formally.  (By the way, your critic, "James", has studied that topic.)  In fact, as far as I can tell, Craig, who began his academic carrier at Wheaton College as a communications major, has never even taken a course in first-semester calculus.  I do not know of any professional physicist who was completely self-taught; do you?  In fact, the "word on the street" is that it takes 10 years from freshman year to PhD status, on average.  I doubt that someone like Professor Steven Weinberg, who, no doubt, you know first-hand would find the number "zero" so problematic, with the many renormalizations that take place within QFT.  But, why trust someone like Weinberg, when you can trust Craig; after all, is not mathematics, per Craig, proof of God's existence, the number zero notwithstanding?

By the way, Sir Peter Millican, a philosophy professor at Oxford, now atheist, was himself a former believer.  And, so, the "religious string" pulls both ways.

Best,

"Me"

I never received a reply and didn't really expect one.  "James", by the way, is an ex-Christian, now atheist, who was critical of Sarah's conversion to Christianity.  His blog site "Reasonably Faithless" can be found online; if you read Sarah's post, she has a bit of a temper to her disposition!

Apparently, some other "fire breathing atheists" from UT (the home of Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg) have converted, also:

Kind of reminds me of Dan Barker, but in reverse.  What's going on with these people?

Why are you so surprised?   You might pontificate, that there are more stories out there like this, then you may be aware of.

Also, just for consideration, but the message you sent may come off as trolling....  You are not really asking a question or making any argument against anything that what said in the context of the site or their position, but bringing up something unrelated about another.  (not to mention, that I think that the clip and argument about Craig, are lacking in the principle of charity, to understand what he is actually putting forth).

A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
