Um, Gematria isn't a special "mathematical pattern" that the Bible was written in, it was actually a common practice of using the letters of a word to make some sort of pattern. There are ancient examples of people using Gematra to make a joke, or using the Gematria equivalent of someone's name as a sneaky way of referring to that person (well known example, 666 = Nero Emperor). This practice first came about because ancient alphabets were often used as numbers as well, and also due to the ancient's world's love of finding symmetry and significant looking coincidences.

As far as Pi and the Golden Ratio and all that, there are some really cool things in science sure, but most atheists would just see that as the natural laws of the universe. I'm not really sure about claims of some secret universe language, I think it's just called math. You seem to be relatively new, welcome to the forum jimenez. I have to admit I wasn't quite sure what you were getting at with this post, so I'd love to hear your basic thesis. It looks like you've done some reading, glad to have you aboard.
