He’s engaging in polemics, who cares about truthfulness?

Science would be very different and probably deficient without the Cartesian graph.

Re: “Citing Descartes here indicates a lack of understanding of his subject.”

How so? Descartes believed in God, believed He was rational and benevolent, maybe more on the deistic side but he was certainly not an atheist. I’m not sure what your criticism of the author refers to.
