I guess that he was so intent on trying to discredit Bell's work, he was actually making the case FOR the Gospel. I never heard of Bashir either, maybe he is not a leftist wingnut anti-Christian nutjob.
The first part about trying to trap God into a 'either/or' is typical of the usual atheist rant however. You would think that an atheistic wingnut would welcome Bell's work to help discredit the Gospel, so I'm not sure why he was gonig after him.
