"And Judeo ancient texts say there are 613 commandments. 6.13 x 10^2 commandments. Hellbender and the like are very selective as to which commandments they choose to accept."

If you read the New Testament, you will find that Christians (which is what I am) are freed from almost all the old Jewish laws, which is presumably what you mean by those 613 commandments. You will also see that Jesus said the totality of the Law could be summed up in only two commandments: 1)Love God. 2) Love thy neighbor as thyself.

"Three is one and one is three."

That's no harder than believing that something can be both a wave and a particle, or that two photons can be "entangled' over vast distances. Both strain human understanding, but why should anyone believe that everything in the universe should be easy for humans to understan?. After all, we're just highly evolved primates, right? Nothing else.

"Judeo values emphasize 1 (one"

Judaism emphasizes one God, not one commandment. Surely you can see the difference.

Except that those phenomena can be reliably demonstrated and reproduced. Which shows that heathen secular materialists *will* believe wacky things, *if* there's actual evidence for them.
