If you have an encrypted file that appears like jibberish and also have the key that unlocks the code, then the fact that the key works to unpack meaningful content means two things. 1) the key is valid, and 2) the text wasn't really jibberish afterall. Another one of your boilerplate objections fails again.
And your answer is to push the question back another step.
Say you apply your decoder source to a book that has no meaning at all, and coincidentally, it produces something meaningful. Does that mean the meaning was intended by the writer, or that you've managed to scramble something meaningless into something you find significant? It's like that, only worse, because there's your mind involved in the process too, comparing two books; you're actively looking for meaning there, no wonder you'll find it if you want to enough.
You talk a lot of shit about how poor my questions are, when all you've done here is exactly the thing I accused you of to begin with: I ask again, how do you know your key and code approach is giving you the intention the author put into the text, rather than something you desperately want to find there?
Saying "I interpret one book I want to be meaningful, using another book I want to find meaningful, with the intended result being that I find meaning, and therefore whatever meaning I find there is definitely the result of a god who intended it to be there, and not wishful thinking," doesn't answer that question.
