I have already responded to your question remembering the demonstration that PI is an irrational number,

that is, it is a number that cannot be obtained by the ratio of two whole numbers.

I've already proven that all words are "interesting"; the same property is true for numbers. Therefore, if you attach numbers to words, you will always find whatever number you get "interesting" in some way.

Consider my handle: Let's just use the ordinal number of each letter in the English alphabet:

We get: 16 + 15 + 15 + 04 + 12 + 05 + 12 + 15 + 22 + 09 + 14 + 16 + 05 + 19 + 19 + 09 + 13 + 09 + 19 + 20 = 268

Wow! 268 is the smallest number whose product of digits is 6 times the sum of its digits.

There are 20 letters in "PoodleLovinPessimist". 268 - 20 = 248 (and Wow! there are 20 letters in the handle, and 20 is the number of the last letter!)

Wow! 248 is the smallest number n>1 for which the arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means of phi(n) and sigma(n) are all integers.

Let's permute the sum and divide by the count times 10 (the number of fingers on my hand): 628 / 200 = 3.14! Amazing! The first three digits of pi!

You cannot show me any other word that has all of these properties!

Numerology is Bullshit! You can show us numerological factoids until the sun goes dark, and all you've proven is your facility with arithmetic.

very well

now you are sure that the Word Elohim is unique

and you integrally accept my demonstration


but you are wrong when you affirm that there are other unique words...

with the same particularities of the Word Elohim

also a child can understand this...

Of course it's unique. It's the only word in Hebrew that's spelled (however it's spelled).

Do you understand the meaning of the word unique?

Since all words are unique in some way, uniqueness is not an interesting property of any specific word.

Of course a child can understand your point: It's trivial enough for even a child to understand.

when the numbers that are inside the Word Elohim are so amazing you cannot say

uniqueness is not an interesting property of any specific word.

So if there is no way for an omnipotent God to code pi CORRECTLY into the bible then why did he put a wrong value of pi in there? What does this prove? Did he figure maybe we wouldn't notice?

The numbers inside the handle "PoodleLovinPessimist" are just as amazing as, if not more so than, the numbers inside of Elohim.
