>>Relative to this board, and as a small additional point, Theomatics also provides the invisible testimony *against* some who would attempt to force their personal views into Scripture to rationalize value systems that happen to be incompatible with God's value system.<<

While I am not qualified to comment on the validity of Theomatics it would not suprize me if there were some underlying mathematical or numerology based structure underlying the scriptural texts of ALL of the various religions of the world.   They are after all, if not diverse reflections of the mind of God (or different views of the metaphysical data), at the very least, directors of human emotional energy and action thru the field of time.   The story of Abraham and Issac being a perfect example.

My own crude attempts at finding underlying relationships between religion and science can be found in a discussion titled "The Metaphysics of Astronomy" which is now archived in the files area of the Astronomy Club here on AOL.

I personally am not particularily impressed with God's value system when it requires appeals to eternal fire and God's wrath to maintain itself.  Some like myself have had a more subjective experience of these things and are neither impressed nor afraid.  Perhaps it is the great angry vengeful wrathful almighty Lord of power and might who ultimately must repent so that he might live again.
