Where my wait<strong>in</strong>g for outcomes of long term plans<br />

stands today.<br />

1. Writ<strong>in</strong>g to journals etc. Sophia journal have had my<br />

article <strong>with</strong> an editor for a whole month now, <strong>with</strong> no<br />

change <strong>in</strong> that ‘status’ on <strong>the</strong>ir web site – so I emailed<br />

aga<strong>in</strong> yesterday ask<strong>in</strong>g for a progress report <strong>after</strong> silence<br />

from <strong>the</strong>m for two whole weeks. Two o<strong>the</strong>r ‘philosophy of<br />

religion’ journals have turned me down for be<strong>in</strong>g ‘not<br />

scholarly enough’ and ‘not philosophical enough’ which is<br />

astonish<strong>in</strong>g. One of <strong>the</strong>se does not <strong>in</strong>clude diagrams <strong>in</strong><br />

papers, so I have had to reject <strong>the</strong>m <strong>in</strong>stead… The<br />

International Journal of Philosophy of Science emailed<br />

back this week say<strong>in</strong>g it was not ‘Philosophy of Science’.<br />

It rema<strong>in</strong>s to see this week if <strong>the</strong> British Journal of<br />

Philosophy of Science shares that view, ra<strong>the</strong>r dubious…!<br />

As I just said, <strong>the</strong> Ian Ramsey Institute <strong>in</strong> Oxford have<br />

sent it on to two directors, and John Polk<strong>in</strong>ghorne’s<br />

representative is read<strong>in</strong>g and review<strong>in</strong>g it, two pend<strong>in</strong>g<br />

successes to add to my acceptance for review by Sophia!<br />

Apart from <strong>the</strong> eight outstand<strong>in</strong>g replies to emails this<br />

week, I also sent parcels to two journals <strong>in</strong> North America<br />

nearly two weeks ago, which should arrive soon if not<br />

already, one of <strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong> International Journal of<br />

Philosophy of Religion - of Spr<strong>in</strong>ger – who have two such<br />

journals it seems, <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r be<strong>in</strong>g Sophia! I also posted<br />

on a long shot, two copies of my book to <strong>the</strong> White<br />

House’s ‘Head of Religious Affairs’ – assum<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>re is<br />

such a post. So I am await<strong>in</strong>g all of eleven replies to<br />

emails or parcels this week from journals or <strong>in</strong>stitutes <strong>with</strong><br />

a specific <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> ‘religion and science’ – a high hit rate<br />

<strong>with</strong> three look<strong>in</strong>g at it already. Much <strong>more</strong> specifically<br />

targeted than any of my previous attempts to <strong>in</strong>terest<br />

publishers and agents - who all said <strong>the</strong>y would f<strong>in</strong>d it very<br />

difficult to market <strong>in</strong> this specific area. I have suddenly<br />

cautious but high hopes of this most recent mailshot – at<br />

long last gett<strong>in</strong>g at least one firm promise of publication.<br />

Even publication of just a set of articles like m<strong>in</strong>e would<br />

def<strong>in</strong>itely help market <strong>the</strong> book – and at last make money!<br />

2. F<strong>in</strong>ances. I f<strong>in</strong>ished my book ‘Scientific Proof that God<br />

Exists’, to my entire satisfaction <strong>after</strong> over ten years of<br />
