Don't take the book too seriously, it's not that scholarly.
The tree alphabet bit is made up.
As to "the goddess"...not sure what you're getting at. Which one? Is Mary an avatar? Then she's still around.

Much of the criticisms fails to address the very question put for by the book. Why does the alphabet exist in the order it does and is there a meaning to it. His answer is a tie to a seasonal calendar. The best way to disprove him is to answer these questions.
