Well-Known Atheist Converts to Christianity (April Fool’s Day post)

April 1, 2009 by Micheal Hickerson 5 Comments

Pending a press conference later today, I’ve not been given permission to use his name at this time (hint: British scientist, likes to write about bats and watchmakers). However, this shocking development will, well, shock the world.  The rumor that I have heard is that he will announce not only his conversion, but also his enrollment in a major evangelical seminary to for a degree in apologetics and possible ordination. This is truly a landmark day.

Update: The press conference is now online!  The full video can be viewed here.

    Huh? The link goes to a music video, the post is still quite vague, and nothing shows up on YouTube or Google news.

    If this were any other site I’d dismiss this as an unfounded rumor.

    Rick Astley’s popularity remains constant on the Internet, I see!
