Vernon,
91 is not the only positive integer that can be expressed as both the sum
and difference of two cubes drawn from a sequence of four. 152 and 189
also have this property.
Many of the properties you cite concern sums or permutations of digits.
Thus they relate only to our modern numeration with its positional
notation.
If one picks some number other than 37 or 91 and spends enough time
working on it, he can find a number of properties that someone will
consider to be interesting. Many of these will be similar to a number of
those that you found for these two numbers. The determination as to which
numbers are most interesting is subjective.
How interesting the properties of these numbers are independent of what
you have found in Gen. 1:1 hardly seems relevant to what you want to claim
for that verse. Certainly whatever you find in Gen. 1:1 was deliberately
placed there by the Lord, but you can't very well make the case that you
have found a test for divine inspiration since it only works for one
verse.
