Now if you could have predicted the features. But instead you find 'features' by searching. I am sure that similar features can be found elsewhere, if one just looks and spends enough time finding them. Nothing unique about that, other than the time needed to do this. Look at for instance the posting about Bill Gates and 666. Numerology can be 'used' to 'prove' almost anything.

A few problems here Why is evolution bloody ? And is it not through His blood that we are saved ? Loveless ? I am not sure either since it results in better survival. And give the evidence, evolution did happen, the question is through what mechanism(s).

No. I don't believe you've achieved that.>>

It was not really necessary since you did not even make an attempt that required me to uphold the integrity of this science.

Vernon: Your second and third communications major on Drosnin et al. I have only
a limited interest in these matters. As I said in 'The Other Bible
Code', I am prepared to believe the claims to be true - in which case
they would represent another avenue by which God is correcting man's
fertile imaginations in our day.>>

Indeed, fertile imagination is a good word to describe all this.
