[Kirk]Merm, a book does not a valid theory make!
[Mermaid]What theory?
[Kirk]Reproducability and a systematic model does.
This is a familiar thread among those who seek to validate belief with
pseudo-formal methods. A lot of lip service is given to the INTENT of
formality. But when peer reviewed for adherence to formal structure, this
type of argument fails miserably. The progenitor of the mormons tried it,
the Hesitics (sic) have tried it, countless fundementalists have tried it,
the Masonic Lodge quit trying it.
[Mermaid]The Vedic code does not resemble the Hebrew code. The vedic code
is only with reference to the 16 sutras<sutra means thread in Sanskrit> and
14<or 16...sorry, I cant recall> sub-sutras of the Ganita
Sutras<Ganita=Mathematics>. I dont know about the Hasidics or the Masonic
code. If you have been following this thread from the beginning, Kirk and if
you will please take the time to consider and read/study what has been
offered to Hermit...you will see that this has nothing to do with 'belief'
or 'faith'...it has NOTHING to do with religion...the comparisons dont
fly...
[Kirk]
1) Take the ENTIRE UNTRANSLATED body of text that is CONTIGUOUS from ONE
AUTHOR.
2) Apply the steganographic key to the ENTIRE portion of STEP 1.
3) Read the 'plain text'
If there is intelligence to be decoded, it will be apparant as an entire
gramatical construct, not a fragment here, a misspleled word there; ONE
COMPLETE SENTACE WILL JUMP OUT AT YOU!
THIS HAS NEVER (repeat) NEVER BEEN DONE!
[Mermaid]Sigh...while I might even agree with you re the above...it doesnt
apply to the current topic of discussion...like I said earlier...it was
meant to be an aid to memory...not a code to publish the meaning of life.
There is not 'secret' agenda here. Why dont you read about the concept of
Vedic Mathematics before you give your opinion, Kirk? I think I even gave a
link. I sense that you have misunderstood the argument...probably because of
Hermit's clever digressions and dishonest argumentation tactics...not to
mention the loser's favourite weapon of choice...ad hominem...
