At least this idiot had the excuse of historical linguistics being so underdeveloped; it's understandable he'd think language was immutable... but he's still a total idiot who apparently thought God spoke English in the Bible instead of Latin and Hebrew.
God spoke Aramaic to Paul and wrote in Hebrew to Moses. I don't think he thought of God speaking English in the Bible, rather than English was invented by God and man "ought not corrupt God's language."
These are people who insist that the KJV, perhaps history's absolute worst translation of scripture ever, as the single solitary legitimate version of the Bible.
