Hi Glenn,
I couldn't resist coming in on this one. Like Bill Payne, I would
disagree - but for different reasons. I infer from your writings that
you must have a fair understanding of the Hebrew language. You will
therefore know that Hebrew words have numerical meanings - conferred
upon them by the introduction of alphabetic numeration c200 BC. I list
below an ordered set of values representing the first 8 words of the
Hebrew Bible - comprising the whole of Gen.1:1 and the first word of
Gen.1:2:
{913, 203, 86, 401, 395, 407, 296, 302}
The sum of words 1-7 = 2701 = 37x73 = 73rd triangular number.*
" " " " 6-7 = 703 = 19x37 = 37th triangular number
" " " " 1-5 = 1998 (the current year) = 3x666 (see Rev.13)
" " " " 1-8 = 3003 = 77th triangular number
" " " " 4-8 = 1801 = 25th hexagonal number
Geometrically, the 37th triangle, when inverted, fits precisely into the
73rd - as too does the 25th hexagon.
The factors of 2701, 37 and 73, have interesting symmetries of theur own
- the former exhibiting 3 distinct forms: octagon, hexagon and hexagram.
The probability of this confluence of coordinated geometries and
apposite symbolisms occurring by chance is vanishingly small - and it
all takes place in a highly-strategic and powerful statement.
May I suggest that these truths - which represent a standing miracle -
must be now be acknowledged and their significance urgently discussed;
they are not there by chance, but by divine edict. It follows that the
observational data bearing upon the creation/evolution debate will be
woefully incomplete unless and until this is done.
You will appreciate that the above represents a bare synopsis of the
complete numerical picture attending these words. A fuller account may

*This geometry readily confirmed by adding together the first 73 natural
numbers, thus: 1+2+3+4+...+71+72+73 = 2701
