In 1995, Statistical Science published a paper that had been reviewed by
some of the world's leading statisticians, purporting to prove that
Genesis contains a code foretelling the future. In 1999, Statistical
Science published a refutation of that work, co-authored by the speaker.
Maya will tell the tale of the rise and fall of this proof -- a veritable
scientific "whodunnit".
