It's numerology. You can find whatever patterns you like if you're willing to be totally flexible with the rules, given a large enough document. It would work just as well with any old crap. It proves absolutely nothing.
Ultimately it's an argument from incredulity anyway. How could the authors have known all this crap? How could they have inserted these codes? They didn't, but even if they did, we don't know how or why.
telling him "it's numerology, end of story" would be equivalent to me stating I have no idea I give up -- got any analysis of another book that shows the same?Quran would be the best lol, cause that would blow his little bubble and make him consider Allah, or any way I can demonstrate that it's only him giving pure chance a divine conclusion? I'm not looking to give PROOF that he's wrong, not only say it's numerology you are wrong, he would write me off
