I’ve seen nothing to show that such apparent fits could not happen by coincidence.
***Coincidence? That’s fascinating. What are the chances that the stars align tonight and spell out the words, “Obama’s Birth Certificate is a Forgery”? About the same as the chances of random specks lining up in such a way as to spell Obama’s sister’s name. If you’re so convinced, then log onto techdude’s blog and take issue with him. But what you write is an example of what Cicero called ” aspernatio rationalis”. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2055569/posts?page=134#134

They don't line up so as to "spell the name". Some aberrations line up with some of the edges of the letters in her name. For things like fingerprints, there are official standards for how many matching points are required to declare that a fingerprint was in fact that of a particular person, rather than just a coincidental partial match. Here there are no such standards, but prudence would suggest making an effort to ascertain whether the partial matches could be coincidental.
