"Your characterization of Mr Flew as a doddering old fool was your own"

Those are your words. I simply quoted him:

"I now realize that I have made a fool of myself by believing that there were no presentable theories of the development of inanimate matter up to the first living creature capable of reproduction

...and I devoted an entire post to proving that he was "increasingly unable to engage in sound science or philosophical inquiry".

But you believe in demonic possession *which you said you would never deny"--which makes you the equal of ancient superstitious tribes--and of modern tribes who have yet to be civilized. You might just as well test your wife's fidelity by forcing her to drink offal from the slaughter house floor as the primitives did? Is that any more ignorant and primitive than demonic possession??

But you believe the Egyptians held the secret of spontaneous generation of life...so who can accuse you of being ignorant or confused??
