Thank you much for the added information. I gathered from the site containing his original quote, as well as use of phrases like "moral turpitude" and "intellectual trash", that Prof Davison may indeed not be... working with a full rack of test tubes, let's say. Particularly with your note on a mental breakdown in mind, I don't want to pile on the poor fellow, who I believe is in no position to be causing real harm.

So I'll just offer the post as a notice to anybody about the unreasonableness of making predictions based on wishes, whether trying to summon the "fall of atheists" or the coming of Armageddon or whatever it may be.

Incidentally, my link to the original quote source was broken. I've fixed it as follows:
