Hi,

I've been debating a Christian on a forum and suddenly he swerves into a type of numerical symbolism, number sevens and all, and mentions Ivan Panin.

I know nothing about this, do you?

Ivan was a numerologist of sorts. He used some quacky mathematics that kept showing the number 7 in biblical texts.

Here is a page about it.

And here is just one reason why Ivan is full of it.

Thanks braces,

Do you know whether this Panin business is typical of fundamentalist apologia?
