I received something in the mail about this -- not from a peer reviewed
journal -- by someone my father knows from synagogue.  How he found out
that I'm not observant & not a believer is another story (not that I object
on principle, but...).

Anyway, it contained the usual sort of nonsense, with nothing resembling
any real computation or the like.

To be perfectly fair, it's not that uncommon not to give out preprints --
I think that a lot of journals want to be the first to publish something.
Then again, it could just be the usual scam.

I've just printed out the alt.atheism FAQ and reduced it to 10 pages with the
help of a copier.  I'm going to drop it in the mail for this guy.  Should
be amusing :-)
