THE PERFECT NUMBERS ARE EXTREMELY RARE Quote:
The Gen1.1 total is a triangular number =2701= 37 x 73 (an unlikely case of digit symmetry). 2701 is the 73rd triangular number The number of letters in Gen1.1 is 28 (triangular and 2nd perfect number) The number of letters of the first word is 6 (triangular and 1st perfect number). Mersenne primes have a close connection to perfect numbers From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersen...Mersenne_primes Mersenne primes have a close connection to perfect numbers, which are numbers that are equal to the sum of their proper divisors. Historically, the study of Mersenne primes was motivated by this connection; in the 4th century BC Euclid demonstrated that if M is a Mersenne prime then M(M+1)/2 is a perfect number. Two millennia later, in the 18th century, Euler proved that all even perfect numbers have this form. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_number In mathematics, a perfect number is defined as an integer which is the sum of its proper positive divisors, excluding itself. Six (6) is the first perfect number, because 1, 2 and 3 are its proper positive divisors and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. The next perfect number is 28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14. |

Look at this site again. For small numbers you have to work very hard to find a number that isn't special.
What you're doing is taking lots of marginally unlikely events, combining them into a single event and claiming that this is extremely unlikely. You're completely ignoring the fact that while that one combination is unlilely, the chances are there's a similar sequence of unlikely events anywhere you look. Not identical, but if the number of letters wasn't perfect, it'd probably be prime or square or have some other neat property. Ceterum censeo you haven't told us what it'd take to convince you it's a coincidence. |

but if you are not convinced of supernatural origin of Gen1.1 yet you can try to find a different sentence from Gen1.1 with inside the same unlikely things |

Mod note
This is a reminder to keep things civil and focussed on the arguments, not the individuals.

but my affirmation is reported to the numerical language practically to the connections between the letters and the values in this sense the number 136 is rarer than a Mersenne prime also in my post#30 I try to explain the improbability of the number 136 to the readers Quote:

You are rapidly descending into incomprehensibility here. I note that you are not answering my question after repeated prodding. This leaves me no choice but to conclude you're not really interested in dialogue. |

Whatever these 'affirmations' are supposed to mean, they are in no way an answer to my question. I must conclude that you have made up your mind about the relevance of your results, and that nothing will get you back on the path of reason. That's quite ok (we're all entitled to be wrong). But I hope I realize that this essentially means your whole endeavor is the antithesis of science. |

I have correctly accepted this your result as thing scientific correspondent to my question Quote:
you don't try to find other sentences as Gen1.1 to show that I am wrong |
