  • That was nice Arley! It shows of the intelligent design that is absolutely everywhere in God's wonderful Creation!

  • It was interesting, Arley, right up until the complete mathematical nonsense about hard-work, knowledge, and god at the end.

    Check it out, using the logic in the video:

    L__O__V__E__o__f__Z__O__O__S

    12+15+22+5+15+6+26+15+15+19 = 150%

    So according to the logic in video, "while hard-work and knowledge will get you close, and attitude will get you there, [and] love of god will get you [barely] over the top," it is really the love of zoos that matters.

    Please share with friends and family, if you really want to be successful and live a happy life, you should love the zoo above all else.

  • I knew I couldn't delude the 'Scientific' mind, with Spiritual Truth's compatibility with Empirical truth, but needed to try.

    Presuming that your Scientific minds, understands, and accepts the perfect truth of the Pyramid of Mathematics, and cannot see that what you just attribute, Above Love of God, and the comparable, 'Love of Zoos,' (Creator compared to Created) demonstrates two things to my simple mind,

    1. your understanding of the foundation of Science, is underwhelming.

    2. Your use of God given 'Choice,' is magnificent in the disparity of the two comparable's. As I see you chose, you chose 'Love of the Zoo,' for you, and pass by the 'Love of God, for you, as 'better, for you.' Do I see the 'Empirical Proof' of this deduction, based on your mathematical sum??

    Guess I need continue praying, the 'scales' fall away, one day, soon.

    Thanks for your comments. It does prove you read what I offer.

  • Arley,

    You missed the point. The video is designed to be mathematically compelling at first, so that when they get to the nonsense finale, suckers are roped-in and ready to believe any numbers they see as mystical and mysterious mathematical proof.

    The video states, for example, that "hardwork" is less important than "loveofgod" based on their psuedomath. Here are three reasons this is silly: 1) "hardwork" has one fewer letter than "loveofgod" so right away it is at a disadvantage mathematically when you sum the value assigned to the letters. 2) Why give 'z' the most value and not 'a', in other words, why not reverse the valuation of letters? Why not assign the values randomly? The author's choice was arbitrary, NOT mathematical. 3) Last, but most importantly, if we change "hardwork" to "workinghard" which is the same conceptually, the value of the sum of letters is 128%

    Thus, (using the strange logic in the video) "hardwork" is less important than "loveofgod" but "workinghard" is significantly more important.

    If you want an actual math video where you can infer a creator where there really isn't evidence of one, check this out...

  • You challenge with spirals??

    Forget it, Benevolus, I was playing with words, in my introduction, and you missed it.

    Please go argue for arguing sake, elsewhere.

    I'll still continue praying you find your way.

  • Arley,

    Why not give the entire video a chance? Clearly, you didn't watch the whole thing or you'd be singing a different tune. The video is not about spirals, it is about the Fibonacci sequence and the ubiquitousness of this mathematical sequence in nature.

    Understanding works both ways, otherwise, you are just preaching to the choir and wasting time, Arley.
