The granddaddy of all comparative experiments has been done.

You are wrong.

HEBREW WAR AND PEACE was compared with The Bible. The authentic codes varied VERY SIGNIFICANTLY from anything found in WAR AND PEACE--in terms of length and in terms of other qualitative features.

Your sources have been proven wrong in a professional juried paper. I don't recall where the paper is in the publication process.

Thanks for the website links. It's been some time since I've look over the information and statistics and examples. But I do recall being amazed not so much by the occurance of letter spaced words, but by their relevence to each other (i.e. that you will find them intersecting each other in the scroll format) as well as their relevence to the passages from which they are found.

Still, I have strong reservations about trying to hold it out as proof of divine origin. I think that one has to have faith in it before one can accept that it has very significant meaning, and that if one doesn't have faith it won't have much meaning at all.

I wasn't aware of that. Is that study on one of your links?
