Glenn,
You have proved from basic numerological principles that both Barrow and
Fischer are inspired and, therefore, speak nothing but truth. However,
they do not always agree. Therefore, Paul's statement that God is not the
author of confusion (I Corinthians 14:33) is false. But this is perfectly
OK, for on the basis of /consequentia mirabilis/, all statements are
necessarily proved true, including I Corinthians 14:33 and its
contradictory. However, if you disdain this advance, you can use the
contradiction to construct a /reductio ad absurdum/ argument that proves
the basic numerological principles are necessarily false. This will
probably convince everyone except Vernon.
