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

Gordon,

My reference to p(i) = 12 and q(i) = -6 was simply to show that the outcomes
of the construction suggested to Michael (involving the use of 8 x A4
sheets) might also be represented using the 'Genesis Formula'. Why not
quote the ranges relating to the Bible's first 8 Hebrew words? These are
provided at www.whatabeginning.com/A4/ResDiff/P,htm and range from -3 to 2
in the first case (Table 3) and -2 to 5 in the second (Table 4). Perhaps
this will help you to understand what I mean by 'small integer'.

You are apparently _underwhelmed_ by these coincidences occurring among the
opening words of such a large Book. You might care to explain why.
