Reply To: What's your proof?

repharim –

1) See my previous post

2) That doesn’t seem very impressive – just seems like a guess gone right. Are you aware that there are nine times as many integers with 18 digits as there are integers with 1-17 digits?

3) To me your strongest, but we don’t know what kind of medical knowledge people may or may not have had.

4) Not sure how this proves Torah min hashamayim (certainly not shebichsav) – just means they had the instruments to measure it. Do we really know how much knowledge the Greeks and Romans garnered before the onset of the Dark Ages?

5) Not really a strong proof even if you can prove that the hair thing is true.

6) You’re mixing up two unrelated probabilities; the shakespeare monkeys and airplane tornado are meant to give a mental image for the order of the universe as we see it having been formed from randomness and is more of an argument against evolution than anything else. Finding random words in a book does not have significant odds; I have seen Discovery’s codes seminar and wasn’t really impressed – it’s basically taking letters spaced every __ letters apart and finding the words those letters make up. The proof is basically from the ‘significant’ number of these words that are associated with the parsha in which they are located. Considering that there are millions of such words you can form from every parsha, is it so surprising that a few of them are related to the topic?
