Many assume that the Bible is a logical system (propositional and predicate). It is actually a fault-tolerant error detecting and correcting code (within limits). They are taking a logical view, as a pure mathematician, rather than a reality view (as an engineer).

They lock themselves into certain positions by making certain assumptions. Those assumptions may be untenable. They often maintain untenable positions based on a view of logical inerrancy. Those assumptions may not matter (in the big picture).

• AIG (Answers In Genesis) logical issue: 120 years - logical assumptions

Creation:

• science approach (cannot prove nor disprove God)
• information approach (can prove God)

Atheists and agnostic views: Make a good living taking a point of view.

• Bertrand Russel
• Karl Mark
• Carl Sagan
• Bart Ehrman

(Invalid) logical view: Anything that contracts one's view of the Bible proves the Bible is not true.

• They, like many others, do not define truth.

(two player zero sum game)

One needs to defend the truth of the Bible.

Opponent: (fact checking fallacy) that the flood is not true. Therefore the Bible is not true.

• six days
• long vs. short ages

Showing that Noah's flood happened does not make the Bible true.

Creation strategy: Spend huge amounts of effort showing that the flood, etc. did happen.

Many things do not matter.

Observation: Creation groups make large amounts of money from science, dinosaurs, astronomy, etc.

What does the Bible say that is important?

• There is creator God who created everything. We need to find out what that God wants. [general revelation]
• ancient civilizations, aliens, etc.
• That God could send us a message. [special revelation]
• Bible
• We need to determine that message and act accordingly.

A. Whether the assertion is true or not, it does not matter.

• 1. Beginning (thermodynamics).
• 2. Coded information exists (DNA, books).
• 3. Random chance cannot create coded information.

[Werner Gitt, AIG video]

B. Who is that creator? What is the message? The Bible is the leading candidate for that message.

How do you show that the Bible is the true message from the creator God?

• Most places say that you need to take it on faith.
• English describing English (self-referential).

Security field: Authentication. Authenticating the Bible is verifying that what the Bible says about the Creator God is true.

Is the person who the person is claiming to be? Three primary ways.

• 1. What you have? ID card. Driver's license. (C and photo ID).
• 2. What you know? Password. Writing style.
• 3. What you are? Biometric. You only have one.

How do you authenticate God through the message of God?

• Look for verification codes.
• Look for continuity codes.
• Look for meaning codes.
• Concealment codes: parables. Steganography.
• Key codes - only a few key codes given.
• Constraint logic - same meaning for the same code word (inflection, etc.).

Authentication codes:

• Prophecy. KP, RC, B, historical model.

Word changes:

• abstract to physical to be measured to see who is great - oaths, creeds,.
• hypocrite
• temptation
• glory
• ... more to be added ...

Copy errors - need to change the original, else need to find all the originals and destroy them. (Star Wars).

• LXX vs. Hebrew (Masoretic)
• gnostics
• LXX originals vs. changed.
• TR originals vs. changed.

• Encryption/description method should be public (security by obscurity).
• Security of the method should depend only on the key.
• PKC
• OTP - non-repeating, 1917, Shannon. The key is the same size as the message.
• Verify what is being said.
• Conceal what is being said.

Figure out the codes given the hints. That's what I have been researching.

Beginning: requires an infinity in reality

• monkeys
• repeating universe
• many worlds

Critics will not accept a view until they have a theory that plausibly supports their view.

• Pasteur (pasteurization) and spontaneous generation. Darwin.
• Kelvin and thermodynamics. Big Bang - Fred Hoyle.

[Backus][Asimov]

Columbus did not discover the New World. (definition of information).

1852: Islam. Cut off of the spice/silk road.

• Schofield Reference Bible with concordance, index, cross references.
• Gideon Bible was not very useful.

• 1987: Start learning traditional Bible Greek. (Campus Crusade, Greek meetings)
• 1988: Bible Greek private lessons from professor/instructor at Nyack College while it IBM research and development for the summer, at Tarrytown, NY.

[Campus Crusade, etc., promote those whose values match the leaders]

Physics, etc.

• 1984 and move to computer science and information.
• 2000 to 2013: Many Creation Science conferences, DVD's, etc.
• 2005: After a Super Creation Conference in Lynchburg, VA, started realizing the logical foundational shortcomings of the Creation Science movement.

Bad assumptions (inerrancy). Poor background in logic and critical thinking.

The printed word may have books that are not valid. They have assumed that that is not true.

Creation Science views (in general):

• KJV (King James Version)
• TR (Textus Receptus) over the NA (Nestle Aland).
• Hebrew Masoretic over the LXX (Septuagint). Superficial errors in the LXX compared to the Hebrew.
• Science rather than information.
• Poor logical foundation.
• Rationalizations to support any idea that needs justified.

Fields:

• Theology - Greek scholars: , Do you had a Greek degree?
• Psychology.
• requirements in their field.

Catch-22:

• You need to get a PhD in a field to be considered an expert in that field.
• You cannot get a PhD (and job) in that field unless you agree with what they say.
• [Doctorate in Education]

Look for authentication codes in the Bible. That is, the GNT (Greek New Testament), what Jesus has to say.

• Need to be able to hear what the GNT is saying like a little child. He that has ears, listen.
• 2014: Start learning modern Greek.
• Switch to modern Greek pronunciation. Takes about 4 months.

... more to be added ...

• RC: From about 1860, first heard discussed in about 2006, found other references. All kept the original model that did not fit well for the last three.
• KP: Heard a few comparisons about 2008. Again, the last three did not fit the RC model very well. Not much connection made.
• About 2020, during COVID, started connecting ideas with the Beatitudes that had been in my mind for a few years.
• 2023: Started in-depth analysis of the Sermon on the Mount.
• 2023: Connected the follow-on Beatitude verses with top-down backward chaining reasoning.
• 2023: After considerable study, realized that there were many groups of seven in the Sermon on the Mount.
• 2024: Found more patterns, realized that with ten nodes the Ten Commandments (Words) fit.
• 2024: Realized that a stacked bowling pin model of the ten nodes and the lower seven nodes fit the patterns very well.

Exact dates from 2020 require looking at (saved) document histories.

• In depth word study from about 2015.
• About 2020 started to find a few play on words.
• About 2022 kept finding more play on words.
• About 2019: Realized that John was top-down thinking.
• About 2022: Realized that the TR breaks many of the models, the NA fit much better.
• About 2022: Realized that Matthew was written from notes as it was said, Mark and Luke were remembrances.
• About 2022: Increasingly found more play on words. Too many to be just random chance.
• 2025: Realized that Spoonerisms (ugly) fit in many places.

• Jesus spoke Greek and Aramaic and some Latin. Read Hebrew. Luke 4: Did Jesus read LXX or Hebrew.
• Jesus used play on words.
• Hebrew was a dead language. Considerable study was needed to learn Hebrew. The religious establishment spent this time, at the expense of learning Greek. They would not have understood all that Jesus said. Some listening may have let out a little smile. Kids being trained (separate elite groups).
• Ancient Greek is today spoke as modern Greek.
• Aramaic was much more complex than Greek.

Modern Hebrew authors remark at how the Hebrews could have switched from Hebrew to Aramaic in 70 years. Aramaic was easier.

Was this the rule or the exception?

• Assume Aramaic. Gospels are a translation from Aramaic.
• Assume Koine Greek. Different than Attic Greek.
• Assume a lot of idioms.

Why are these assumptions made?

Language learning and accents: Henry Kissinger and brother. Language Instinct.

i did not expect to find translation errors (in the amount I found them). These were effectively put in by the church over time.

Three main categories of translation issues.

• Money.
• Power (control).
• Deception (from the truth).

I did not expect to find play on words (in the amount I found them).

None of the discoveries change the basic ideas.

Rewards.

• Is this wasp spray good for wasps?
• Is God good for you?
