Not intended for PaulK
Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
I would say here something that was heard from an ecclesiastic of the most eminent degree; ‘That the intention of the Holy Ghost is to teach us how one goes to heaven, not how the heaven goes.’ Galileo Galilei 1615.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass

My problem with this exercise is that by tweaking enough parameters, we can probably squeeze some truth out of any origin stories. I find your treatment of human ages and birthdays in the Bible to be particularly suspicious. Why shouldn't I dismiss your proposal the way I would dismiss any attempt at numerology.

Re: numerology?
From wikipedia
Numerology - Wikipedia
quote:
Numerology is any study of the purported divine, mystical or other special relationship between a number and some coinciding observed (or perceived) events. It has many systems and traditions and beliefs. Numerology and numerological divination by systems such as isopsephy were popular among early mathematicians, such as Pythagoras, but are no longer considered part of mathematics and are regarded as pseudomathematics or pseudoscience by modern scientists.

Re: numerology?
Whew, you almost had me worried there. Fortunately, no number in this project has relationship, special or otherwise, to any event. The resultant of the previous iteration, two other numbers, and a constant get fed into a function and a date pops out the other side.
Right. So when you claim the result to be a "Possible Signature of Extraordinary Intervention" we should just ignore that because we would not want to attach any special meaning to your calculations, right?
Well, I'm off to visit math departments and tell them to stop looking for examples of the Fibonacci ratio in nature, because it is a single number (albeit an irrational one) and because it has a special relation to beauty, so therefore NoNukes says studying it would be numerology.
While you are off on that visit, why don't you show your calculations to the department head I'm sure they'll instantly see the analogy between what they are doing and your work.

Re: numerology?
There is a special MEANING to the CALCULATIONS if the algorithm becomes accepted
There is a special meaning to your zodiac sign if astrology becomes accepted.
