I'm going to be at the Roseville Public Library (2180 Hamline Ave. N, Roseville MN) this afternoon from 1-3, talking to a gang of the godless about the conflict between science and religion, the evolution of chromosome structure, and the vacuity of Intelligent Design creationism. If you want to show up, it's free and open to the public, and atheists are a very tolerant bunch—you don't have to be a heathen to attend. Rumor has it that a Power Liberal or two might be there, and it's on the radar screen of a certain Norwegian, who, I note, doesn't promise to show up. Maybe he'll surprise us. It's also been mentioned in the City Pages, so maybe we'll get a good diverse crowd.

I know you all worry about me when I drive off to distant places—lately, disaster seems to hound me on my road trips—so I thought I'd mention that yes, we survived the drive to Minneapolis and are home safely. The talk went reasonably well, I think. Kele has a review (but didn't introduce himself while I was there! I really don't bite, I promise), and we failed to convert Robin…not that we tried, mind you.
