The curious case of Sarah Salviander.

[Jehanne]

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:

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?
