Among the Creationists

In a recent column, the Reverend Jerry Falwell personally invited Christopher Hitchens to come down to Lynchburg, Va. to attend to the 2005 Creation Mega-Conference "so that he can learn the Creationism is not just the whim of a bunch of snake-handling mountain evangelists." I don't know if Hitch will make it, but I've decided to go. I will be filing daily dispatches covering the conference's first 3 days starting this Tuesday.
