Only fruitcakes believe in God? Correction of inverted inheritance of solomonic genius
British Medical Journal Rapid Response 12 May 2011 http://www.bmj.com/content/342/bmj.d2642/reply#bmj_el_260496
In my rushed rapid response to Mark Struthers’ remark (9 May) that believers in God were/are fruticakes [1] I made King David of Jerusalem the recipient of solomonic genius, when he was in fact the father of the legendary King Solomon. Sorry about that. David’s Psalms are still worth reading as they are full of extraordinary wisdom, including his published diagnostic observations in Psalm 14 verse 1, and Psalm 53 verse 1. Some will say King Solomon inherited the brilliance of his father, but Scripture implies something more profound, indeed something suprascientific. [3]
