Ridge,
"We will agree to disagree on the factual content of the Bible, your giant leap of faith is far to great for me."
Yes, I agree to that comment
As for the numbering system, so what? A mathemetician is born every minute, the ancient Greeks had oodles of them.
Not only would that person have to be a mathematician in proportian of the saum of all mathematicians born before him and since, he would also have to possess the literatical (is there such a word?) skills of all the top writers before and since...
He would then have to have all the legal skills of the best jurists and legal minds in all history.
And then co'ordinate them into the complex messages that the Old Testament gives us, the Ten Commandments etc etc.
Not even an army of people together with all the Big Blues computers in the world could come up with such a wonderous enduring piece of work.
By the way the best the ancient Greeks and Romans could come up with in C M IV X M wwhwich is absolutely limited and at most could give us a small number but could not make up complex sentences and phrases which would have any meaning at all.
Doubt if they could even structure one word with ten of those numerical letters than would have any meaning in English or Latin or for that matter, any lanuguage.
And you still have to explain, why it exists ONLY in Hebrew.......
