More information on my video Shocked by the Bible Code in Less than One Minute

Here is the video in question: 

 

 

I decided to ask ChatGPT 4 to help me with this experiment. Here is the question I asked: 

Me: Can you tell me anything about the statistical significance of an event with a standard deviation of 384,011.50? A standard deviation of 5 was set as being statistically significant. A priori, the event was given a zero percent chance of occurring by chance alone, yet it occurred once during the experiment. 

ChatGPT 4: To evaluate the statistical significance of an event with a given standard deviation and context, let's break down the information provided:

1. Standard Deviation: The event's standard deviation is 384,011.50.
2. Significance Threshold: A standard deviation of 5 is set as being statistically significant.
3. A Priori Probability: The event was given a 0% chance of occurring by chance alone.
4. Occurrence: The event occurred once during the experiment.

Statistical Significance

In statistical terms, a "standard deviation of 5" typically means that if an event falls 5 standard deviations away from the mean, it is considered highly unusual and statistically significant.

Calculation

Given that the event's standard deviation is 384,011.50, let's consider how far away from the mean the observed event is:

$\text{Z-score} = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

Where:

• $X$ is the value of the event.
• $\mu$ is the mean (which we don't have directly, but can infer some information).
• $\sigma$ is the standard deviation, 384,011.50.

However, the critical piece of information here is the comparison with the threshold of 5 standard deviations.

Significance in Context

To determine the significance of the event that occurred once, we'll compare the given standard deviation (384,011.50) to the threshold of 5:

1. Convert the threshold to the same unit:

   • Threshold in terms of event's standard deviation: $5 \times 384,011.50 = 1,920,057.50$

2. Interpretation:

   • An event that is 1,920,057.50 units away from the mean (or 5 standard deviations in this context) is statistically significant.
   • The fact that the event was given a 0% chance a priori means it was considered practically impossible.

3. Occurrence:

   • Despite the a priori probability, the event occurred once. This could suggest that the occurrence was due to a highly unusual or unforeseen factor. (Me: That unforeseen factor is God.)

Conclusion

The occurrence of the event with a standard deviation of 384,011.50 and a priori zero percent chance of happening, yet it happening once, implies it might be an extraordinary outlier. Given the comparison with the threshold (5 standard deviations), this event falls significantly outside the expected range, suggesting it is indeed statistically significant. This means the event is not likely due to random chance, considering the parameters provided.

Me: The Bible is the Word of God. My strong advice is to read it and follow it. 

The story of Christianity is the story of God pursuing His runaway bride, even though she is a harlot. The Bible tells that story, beginning with the fall of the bride into unfaithfulness and God’s plan to restore her to her original state of purity. We are God’s lost love, seduced by a snake. Satan is the one who deceived us and leads us farther and farther away from God into degradation and destruction. But God loved us enough to break into our world and pursue us. He took a path that ended and began again on a Roman cross outside the gates of Jerusalem. There, God drew us away from our seducer and offered us anew that sinless union we began with. There He renewed the fellowship we once had with Him. Once again, we can walk with God in the cool of the day in the paradise He first created for us. 

As I wrote at the end of chapter one in my book Sailing Into the Storm of Christian Controversies, it is a difficult thing for us to consider, but the Bible tells us that we have all sinned. Romans 3:23 declares, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” The Bible tells us what God’s standards are in the Ten Commandments, Exodus 20:2–17, and Deuteronomy 5:6–21. Everyone has broken these commands, whether it is just a few or all of them. Because we have sinned, we are separated from God, but the Bible tells us we can be reconciled to God through trust in Jesus Christ.

Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

In John 14:6, Jesus said, “…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” 

In John 10:9–10 He said, “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

In Romans 10:8–10 we read, “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”  

The Bible teaches that to live with God forever we must be holy, but the Bible also teaches that we do not have a righteousness of our own apart from God. Jesus took our sins and gave us His righteousness. That is why there is no other way back to the Father except through the Son. Only Jesus is God made flesh. Only He paid the wage for sin, which is death. Only He took our sins and gave us His righteousness. Only He died in our place and rose again so that we could rise again too and have full and everlasting life with Him. No one else did those things for you. That is why Jesus is the only way to our heavenly Father. 

God does know you and cares for you. He knows and cares about everyone who has ever existed and ever will exist. Maybe our relationship with God is like quantum entanglement, where God knows everything we are thinking and doing by a similar mechanism; wherein we have an intimate relationship with Him, while everyone else does at the same time, through what Einstein called “spooky action at a distance.” But I don’t think it’s spooky. I think it’s miraculous and grand.

Here is the Sinner’s Prayer:

“Father, I know I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from you. I want to turn away from my sins and turn toward you. Please forgive me and fill me with your Holy Spirit and create a new person in me. Let me be born again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ, died for my sins. I believe He was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life. I pray your Holy Spirit gives me the desire and the power to do your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’s name I trust and pray, Amen.”  

I encourage all of you, if you’re not Christians, to look into these matters and to pray about these things. I am praying for you also, and it is my prayer that you will read the Bible, obey what God’s Word has proclaimed, and it is my prayer that you will believe.
