I said that there is a Koran code that purports to do the same thing. I did not say it does it; I said it purports to do it. And whether it is proved true, false or what have you, it still purports to do it.
You claim that Sherman had "debunked" it. Okay. Other people have purported to have "debunked" Sherman's work. I've read enough about ELS and "holy book codes" to recognize their limitations. But, as I stated, more to the point, even if is true that the existence of these supposed "codes" had such long odds, the occurrence of the improbable simply does not prove the existence of the divine. By definition.
Thanks. Oh, I am still interested in your answers to the other three questions.
That would depend on your level of cognition. Statistical evidence is held in high regard because mathematics is by it's nature objective. Those with lesser cognitive abilities tend to apply the "Missouri" factor long after they have lost the argument.
I answered your first three questions with one answer that is equally applicable to all. Your fourth question is a strawman. You jump over the same cliff as Radio Astronomer when you try to assert that the Bible makes statements that it does not. No statement in the Bible has ever been found to be false on complete examination; only in the flawed imagination of the imperfect reader.
The epistles of Enoch are the oldest written record of the motion of the moon and sun relative to the earth, but Enoch does not say that the sun revolves around the earth; he merely describes the motion from our point of reference. In fact his writings contain vague descriptions of the solar system, and also of distant bodies. Paul writing in Hebrews ch 11 even aludes to the atomic structure of matter.
"Other people have purported to have "debunked" Sherman's work"
Nobody has published any tabular data that assails Sherman's assertions. You will find only emotional retoric and carping standing against thousands of hours of number-crunching on fast mainframes.
