The first statement made is that the disease going on in the brain is actually a demon or the devil, which happens to satisfy the scientific explanation in a scientific way. This is a fallacy known as begging the question. You are assuming what you are trying to prove. The next statement is that we can cure these diseases by religious means. We can "name" the demon or use Jesus' power to remove them. However, we seem to always use the scientists' medications in order to help Jesus remove the demons. Doesn't that contradict the previous statement about the demon simply satisfying the scientists' expectations?
