IN THE MAIL: David Berlinski’s The Devil’s Delusion: Atheism and Its Scientific Pretensions. No idea if he’s related to Claire Berlinski, though you would expect that an author-Berlinski living in Paris might well be.

UPDATE: Various readers email that David Berlinski is Claire and Mischa Berlinski’s father.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader Raymond Eckhart emails: “In addition to being Claire and Mischa’s Dad, he’s a fellow at the Discovery Institute and ID proponent. I’d love to hear a debate on ID between him and John Derbyshire. Methinks the Derb would clean up.” I don’t believe in intelligent design. The case for not-very-bright design, however, remains open.
