Matching the
Results with Random Values
In order to perform any
objective and scientific investigation, both the procedure and end results
must be: (1) definable, (2) testable, (3) the tests repeatable, and (4)
the outcome predictable.
There must be absolute ground
rules that eliminate as much as possible, any human factor. Various classifications
must be pinned down and identified in advance of performing any tests.
There can be no accusations of bias or arbitrary manipulation of data,
entering into the tests. Private wishes must not be allowed to cook the
results of the inquiry.
When theomatics discovers
a pattern, it must be defined by the usage of a particular Hebrew or Greek
word. Every phrase to be examined must: (1) contain a specific word, (2)
be a certain length away from that word in both directions, (3)
use only one text and (4) examine every phrase combination or possibility
present.
The computer then proceeds
through all the phrases looking for features. It tallies every 'hit' within
the cluster range of +1, -1 and +2, -2. The evidence is then recorded.
Next the same computer program
goes back through all of the same Bible references, again looking
for features.
Only this time, the numerical values for the letters are
jumbled into random allocations.
The computer software currently
in use, can mix up to one million random seed numbers. A random seed is
entered and the program instantly recalculates the value of every word
based upon the specific random seed number. Shown above on the right, is
one example. The left side shows the standard theomatic values for the
Hebrew or Greek alphabets. On the right is a sample of random values which
means that for every word present in the Bible, it would now have
a numerical value that is
different than the original theomatic
value and is most certainly random. It obviously contains no meaning
or significance.
Next, the computer goes through
all the references looking for random features. It tallies every 'hit'
within the cluster range of +1, -1 and +2, -2. The evidence is then recorded.
Now this experiment is not
done just once. It can be done hundreds of times. In fact, up to one million
times.(if
someone wants to take the time to do it).
Over and over again the computer searches with the random allocations,
trying to play catch up with theomatics.
Furthermore, not only can
the programs mix up to one million alphabetical arrangements. They can
also go through all the phrase combinations looking for features and attempting
to find the 'best' number that produces the 'best results' within the random
values common to the greatest number of references.
What this means is that
if theomatics has produced a long list of features from every possible
reference to a particular word or topic.(with
only one set of standard allocations),
the skeptic is now allowed access to hundreds, even thousands of random
alphabet/number arrangements, plus he can use any number factor he wants
to, in order to try and match the results of theomatics.
There are some stipulations
to all this however. The skeptic must use a number at least as large
as what theomatics has used or a number of the same probability, not smaller
numbers. Also, the number of phrase combinations must be in the same
range or length as what theomatics derived. Longer phrases, obviously
have many more possible combinations in them.
The point to all this is
very simple. If theomatics is untrue, if God did not put this supernatural
phenomena in the Bible, then that would mean that the numbers theomatics
is using, are random based. Therefore, any other random based allocations
should by all reasonable logic have just as good a probability or chance
of producing 'features', as what theomatics has been able to produce. Why
not?
