/Issues_and_Commentary Stupid Math

A coworker sent me a link to a news article about an Oxford philosopher of religion who purports to use "math" to prove Christ's resurrection. I got quite a kick out of the breathless tone of the article, not to mention the immense stupidity of a) the claim and b) the methodology itself. Matter of fact, it struck me so funny that I thought it might be an April Fools' joke (it's not).

Wanting to post about this "story", but not being as talented as the guy that writes the excellent Good Math, Bad Math blog, I sent him a bit of red meat in the form of a link to the above article, hoping he (and his readers) would comment on it in his blog, so I could link to it like the lazy scum that I am. Paydirt!
