The Gospel of Plutarch

[FallentoReason]

My point is my incredible disgust that an engineering student that thinks numerological woo is valid.

Not in the least bit. I think it's rather bizarre that the number 4320 from the Gospel comes dangerously close to the 3 facts about the sun, moon and light. I'm not making any assumptions from there onwards in the form of endorsing Pagan theology.

Anyway, the reason I am addressing the numbers is simply because they are wrong (and most of the argument hinges on them being correct) and the methodology used is a well known wooish technique.

The arguments don't even need those numbers. It may seem like it in this thread because that's partly what I focused on, but can't you see that it's merely Plutarch's personal beliefs that shine through in the form of those numbers? His beliefs don't change the fact that he wrote Lux-Axe, but his beliefs give us the parallels of his works and Lux-Axe.

The error is not .06% and the fact that you as an engineering student thinks that it is a valid calculation is extremely scary to me.

|2 159.1 - 2 160| = 0.9
864 327.3 - 864 000 = 327.3
|186 282 - 186 624| = 342

Percentage error = (0.9 + 327.2 + 342)/(2 159.1 + 864 327.3 + 186 282)*100 = 0.0637%

EDIT: ah, sorry you're right. I've done the individual errors and got an average for the overall error and I came up with 0.0877%. Was that what you got?
