From: Lawrence Krauss < To: Richard Dawkins Cc: Lawrence Krauss Subject: Re: Statement Date: Sat, 03 Mar 2018 01:16:08 +0000 Inline-Images: image002.png Dear Richard: I understand from you that the CFI Board is meeting tomorrow at 4 pm EST. I want to assure them, and you, that the claims about me in the Buzzfeed tabloid story are incorrect. As you know, I have denied the story's allegations. Buzzfeed was provided with abundant counter-evidence that was ignored or distorted in their story. There will be new information coming out soon that is relevant to the Buzzfeed story of Feb 22. First, we are preparing a rather comprehensive statement providing information relevant to the story, including relevant information about various claims that Buzzfeed either chose to not include or distort in their story and that thus impugns the legitimacy of that story. I expect that statement to come out shortly, within the next 24-48 hours. Next, ASU, which had previously dismissed one of the key claims in the Buzzfeed story when presented with it last fall, and which responded to Buzzfeed's requests about it by stating that it was defamatory, is now conducting a review of allegations in the published Buzzfeed story related to the Origins Project. That review should be completed shortly. I am hoping that CFI will recognize that evidentiary information relevant for any comprehensive decisions they may make will be coming soon, and that this will impact on any decisions they make or discussions they have at the present time.
