I have to admit I was a little exasperated when I posted my response. Later, I came back and edited my reply as not to insult your admiration for Descartes. For some reason, I didn't see your last response until now. I think I had left my post open in an old window which is what I came back to to edit without refreshing the thread. From what I know about Descartes, he did some very important foundational work for the natural sciences and mathematics, but I'm unaware of any notable contribution made to theology.
