I'd just like to note that 'prophecy' is a noun and 'prophesy' is a verb.

JimmyN, these people will not believe anything you can produce as evidence, they will not believe until they are face to face with God. Hope you stay around for awhile, what you are presenting is interesting, please let us see more.

He hasn't yet produced any evidence. Numerology and post hoc twisting of data are not evidence.

Numerology, plain and simple.
Nope, not numerology. It's not some mystical meaning to this number. It's the fact that it was predicted that we are concerned with. If I say that a short man with black hair and a mustache in a red car is going to drive up to you and ask for directions at exactly 7:32 tomorrow evening, that would make that event significant simply because it was foretold, not because of what it is.
BTW, Congratulations on quitting smoking.
Yes, numerology. You are using a variant of the Abjad system.
What do you think numerology is?
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
