Re: [asa] The Challenge (was Advice for conversing with YECs)

Michael,

I thought you might appreciate the following additional challenge:

(1) Take 8 x A4 sheets of paper.
(2) Lay 6 of them side by side - and in close contact - on a flat surface so
as to form a long rectangle.
(3) Place the remaining 2 sheets lengthwise below this rectangle - again in
close contact, one each side - so that their outer edges align with the
outer edges of the block of 6.
(4) Taking a ruler graduated in millimetres, record, (a) the total length of
the top edge of this symmetrical arrangement and, (b) the width of the gap
between the lower sheets.
(5) Thus, confirm the outcomes, 1260 and 666 - two numbers which are found
to occur in close proximity in the Book of Revelation (see vv 12:6, 12:14,
13:5 and 13:18).

Surely, a profound mystery, Michael !?

Of course, you'd get the same results by plugging the trios of values [pi =
12, qi = ri = 0] and [pi = 12, qi = - 6, ri = 0], respectively, into the
Genesis 1:1+ formula, Gi = 105pi + 99qi + ri

But observe: 'foolscap' fails to deliver such wonders!
