There was a fellow here a couple of weeks ago who was playing all kinds of number (and word?) games with the Quran. His user name was something like ckt83. I think it'd be interesting if all of the "I found a code in the holy book" guys all got together in a single topic to discuss your competing systems of mathematically proving god.
And by interesting, I mean hilarious.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
