Sorry folks, the atheist is still an atheist. I still don't completely know what to make of all this. On re-reading original aritcle, it doesn't seem like we have a simple case of a press monkey misreading a release. Seems more to me an old academic, used to making obtuse arguments to a small group of people used to that sort of thing, didn't realize complexity for its own sake can lead to unintended conclusions.

The parallels with a certain pugnacious cleric's declarations are rather remarkable.
