funny that you should comment on pedantry when you're engaged in spurious numerology

St. John seemed to focus on numbers, a specific number, and that same number appears as the last three digits in a count of verses (again, according to an islamic source) of the Koran. I find that interesting - you are under no obligation to do so.

Pedantry is the proper term to use when you focus on the word used rather than the point being made. Oops, my bad, so sorry, but my point remains the same. Spurious describes your claim that my count was off - unless you want to dispute the islamic website I pulled it from. If that's the case, don't argue with me - send that webmaster an email.

All that said, some of your other responses on this thread have been informative without relying on weak debate tactics, and I appreciate them. But I'm not the debate police, either, so take that however you want.
