What a Beginning!
DECLARATION: This site is dedicated to the service of our Creator, Sustainer and Saviour - The Lord Jesus Christ. Its principal aim is to uphold the supreme Authority of the Judaeo-Christian Scriptures as the one unique body of revealed truth (graciously provided for our eternal well-being) by presenting hard evidence of a self-authenticating principle, closely integrated with the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Such findings defy all naturalistic explanation; consequently, they are endorsed by the commonly-held belief that reason alone is man's only dependable guide.
It is a logical consequence of Darwinian thinking that man is not alone in the universe; that other civilizations exist and flourish out there; that among these must be some superior to our own, able and willing to instruct us in the elusive art of peaceful coexistence. Thus it is hardly surprising that we now witness myriads of eyes turned heavenwards in anticipation of some non-random signal emanating from the depths of space that would confirm the existence of such beings. Assuming the fulfilment of these expectations, it is highly likely that regular communication would follow and, in due course, direct contact. Clearly, this is what the ongoing SETI (the "Search for ExtraTerrestial Intelligence") programme is all about.
In the initial stages of this scenario, mathematical absolutes - particularly those associated with number and form - are expected to assume fundamental roles. For example, the repeated transmission of a sequence comprising the first thousand or so cubic numbers is highly likely to capture the interest and attention of any intelligent receptor - thereby achieving the immediate purpose of announcing its author's galactic presence.
However, in their eagerness to pursue extraterrestial liaisons and find salvation among the stars the world's scientific and intellectual elite appear to have overlooked a similar message closer to home - one expressed in equally persuasive terms. In the following pages it is proposed to correct this oversight by drawing attention to some remarkable phenomena and their potentially far-reaching implications. These are associated, in particular, with the Bible's opening Hebrew words, the Greek form of the name Jesus Christ (understood by Christians to be The Creator), and the riddle of Revelation 13:18.
We shall refer to this body of scripturally-based evidence as ALEPH-TAU (the names of the two Hebrew letters which form the central - and untranslatable - word of Genesis 1:1. However, to fully appreciate the implications of A-T it is necessary that we recognise that within the _Book of Number_ per se we find universal constants and a numero-geometric structure representing the confluence of many unique and rare features - both absolute and radix-dependent. We shall call this NUN-RESH (pronounced 'noon-reysh' - the two letters that form the Hebrew word for LAMP). It is the awareness of the existence of N-R, taken together with the observation that A-T maps onto it so precisely, that truly underlines the significance of these findings.
For convenience, this A-T/ N-R combination will now be referred to as as ETI-F ("ExtraTerrestial Intelligence-Found")
For a concise overview of the findings to date it is recommended that The Beginning of Wonders be read first.
