I didn't see the other thread so I'm not sure what this is continuing from, but I assume that anyone who has read accurate predictions about the future has made HUGE piles of money on the stock market...

You assume I don't know anything you haven't already heard, but I'm sure I do. Have you even read the entire Bible? Studied the translations, Greek Septugiant, and even ancient scrolls like the Nabonidus Stone, Dead Sea Scrolls, and Hezekiah Scrolls? Do you know the origin of the knowledge you do have of the Bible? Don't blame me for those that fed you BS. It is your responsibility to make sure your knowledge is accurate, and I've done just that. I'm not asking that I be trusted, just listened to. I rarely am, since today's man is trivial about spiritual matters....
You would be utterly amazed with how much Bible reading and research, core and ancillary, I've conducted over the decades. Yes, that includes Dead Sea Scrolls and even the Kabbalah, Apocrypha, Gnostic Gospels, Babylonian mythology, etc. You're making the same mistake you're accusing me of making.
What I'm calling pre-emptive BS on is not your treatment of the subject (you jumped just a bit too quickly there Chris) but the concept of "scientifically proving God" itself. Science can certainly suggest the existence of God (a la the Anthropic Principle and related philsosophical memes) but it can neither prove nor disprove the existence of an unseen higher spiritual power. All of these arguments are instead philosophical.
Wikipedia treats the subject objectively:

שלום
Dont really want to get into this, but I have 25 years of full time bible learning (in the original hebrew in which im fluent, plus aramaic texts that comment on it) and a degree in religious studies, plus I taught kabbalah for a number of years.
There are countless flaws all over the old testament and it in no way can be considered authoritative. This includes dates, nations, people, places and many other mistakes.

"But I clearly said my proof was scientific and mathematic."
Chris, just post it here. This is a kosher off-topic thread. I'm optimistic that everyone will behave themselves, and if not, I'm guessing texrat can help take care of the problem children. Let it rip.

YES, *please* please please *PLEASE* post this mathematical proof that God exists. I'm in dire need of a few laughs right now.

He didn't promise that the proof wasn't 4,000 pages long... There may be good reasons not to post it here.

Found it compatible with the "predictions" subject, and funny to read ^^
