Re: Nature and human nature research
The first post in this thread answers this question. These methods were used to predict and find statistically improbable Bible Codes, for example, validating the claim to supernatural authorship to at least part of the Bible.
So you have actually chosen to hang the validity of your religion on the bible codes??? !!
Leaving aside, for the moment, the validity of these, you actually are comfortable with bringing the supernatural into the natural world and to have it tested? You're ok with putting God up to scientific and statistical tests?

Proof or Disproof
Ok, It's your idea. My Christian friends shudder at such clumsy theology but it's up to you.
As for you Bible codes, my statistics isn't good enough to follow the details but the last I read on the subject it sure looked like you were hitched to the wrong horse. How expert are you in the math involved?

Online?
Professional last name is Fretwell. Currently cited several hundred times a year on research published 25 years ago, two, maybe three "citation classics."
Are there any online for perusal?

Re: Online?
We will have to define "nuclear holocaust" to establish the bet. Some would say it means an unleashing of the US's and Russia's weaponds, others might say a tactical nuke in manhatten counts and others would say that Chernobyl was one, and if it happens in 2006 the death of 2 plant workers due to radiation exposure will be counted by some.
I don't suppose the prophesy is this precise is it? But can we agree on a cut off?

Re: Kuhn's Enema
It seems that the presence of some parasites shows up to prospective mates ("The Red Queen" by Ridley) and this is an explanation for some sexual displays. The carrier of them has to be in good shape or the display shows the presence of parasites up.
