Dear Dave:
I am having trouble understanding your math even though math was one of my college majors, so maybe you can walk me through this analysis.
Please start by explaining:
"There 7 multiples of 7, 6-8???s, 1-9, 6-12???s, 4-16???s, 2-19???s, 2-23???s, 3-48???s, 2-167???s.
The normal probability of sevens is 14.3%"
You are apparently referring to the factoring of the numbers of words and letters in selected groups of verses. How were the groups selected? I can see the seven multiples, but they are not of the numbers in your list. For example, there is a (7*111) but 111 is not in your list. I could not find two 167's as factors with 7.
The probability of 7 among 9 digits (excluding 0) is 11.1%, not 14.3%. What am I missing here?
I have other questions, but I would appreciate your answer to these first.
I really would like to understand your mathematical analysis. It looks quite intriguing.
Sincerely,
Otto
P.S.: Your discussion of the genealogies of Matthew and Luke are a fine summary of the conclusions reached by Paul an others in this forum. It sharply contrasts with the weird but "accepted" view of Christian scholars that Matthew has the geneaology of Jesus and Luke has the geanealogy of Mary. Good job!
