David Gelernter does not merely *claim to be* a professor of comp sci at
Yale, he *is* one, and a distinguished one at that. This does not enhance
the truth-value of his theological claims, of course.
I'm not sure that it's altogether appropriate to dub Gelernter a Luddite
when a large part of his hands was blown off by the Unabomber, who actually
is a Luddite.
Gelernter's classic book MIRROR WORLDS is well worth reading, BTW.
