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."
