This research project looks a little flaky to me. I'm trying to keep an open mind here, but looking for God's skywriting in the cosmic background radiation evokes images of people researching whether or not it really was an image of the Virgin Mary in that grilled cheese sandwich. What would be considered positive evidence of a message versus a coincidence? Is the image below positive evidence of a message from God? Do we have any reason to believe the cosmic microwave background is a place more likely than a grilled cheese sandwich for God to leave His signature? Do they expect to find "We apologize for the incovenience" scrawled across the sky? This seems so be overstepping the bounds of legit science, to me.

By the way, am I the only one who thinks it looks like the woman in this toast is holding a handgun?

It could end up like searching for bible codes. If you pick your number keys and your intervals just right, you can find all kinds of words and phrases.

In Carl Sagan's "Contact" (the book, not the movie) there is a chapter dealing with the "Author's signature" found in the digits of pi. It seems that somewhere in the hundred gazillionth binary digit of pi, a picture emerges if you place the digits on a grid.

Unmentioned by the author of the book, the known data stream of pi digits has the characteristics of a random number. In such a stream, every possible substring will eventually emerge, including the ASCII equivalent of Shakespeare.

Looks like Clara Bow with lots of hair. Clearly an example of supernatural design.
