So we're not true skeptics unless we believe your woo?
We could try putting sugar on something. That might help.

You still need to demonstrate that the block of letters you've put together contains significantly more random words than a series of control groups of blocks of letters from other stories in the same language.
Another poster brought up the point that you haven't given a motive for the hidden text. The point to hiding a code inside a text would be to add an extra or alternative meaning or hidden message that you intend to get to someone, but you haven't demonstrated anything along these lines - the only words you appear to be able to find don't tell us anything interesting or new.
You missed one:
3. The Seal is an arifact of a human's need to find order even in the absence of such, and you are unwilling to admit this is nothing but an unamazing coincidence because you have wasted so much time on it.
Guess which one I would put money on?
I connected his seal to an 80's hair band and then connected that to Scripture here. What more do you want?

Would a corn dog help? Or some nice juicy cherries?
All you have to do is look at the word to figure it out. We know that Astronomy is the study of stars so obviously Deuteronomy is the study of Deuters which can be interpreted as doubters so its clearly a diatribe against atheists.So, basically, the first words from Genesis come from a Hebrew word search puzzle.
Does Deuteronomy come from a Hebrew crossword? Or is it more like Soduku?
More the first 64 letters of the bible code

Agreed, but what if the Torah can be shown to reflect specific content of the Genesis Seal? So far, I have barely shown any such examples, barring the ‘Garden eastward in Eden’ and the ‘tablets’ within the Ark of the Covenant. And, going back even further, what if Ancient Egyptian myths and legends could also be shown to reflect content of the Seal? It has been suggested that words are bound to emerge in any matrix of letters. Be that as it may, the real point is that the words that do arise in the Genesis Seal can be shown to reflect literature of the past and, by extension, certain major events that have offered the right historical context. If I was writing a book on this subject, it would require several chapters on this aspect alone, supported by many illustrations of the Genesis Seal with relevant emergent content highlighted.MRC_Hans said:That will probably be impossible. Our concrete knowledge of that era is very limited.
Apart from the realm of the physical sciences, progress in many subject (occasionally new subjects) has often begun with a chance observation, followed by idle speculation. I might cite Wegener’s drifting continents, or even, is some respects, Darwin’s Origin of Species.MRC_Hans said:Probably, possibly ..... Let's face it, this is pure speculation.
I can go even further; although I began this research as a fairly committed Christian, I have had to face some uncomfortable truths. On balance, I am now of the opinion that a coherent Torah did not exist before the Babylonian Exile. It seems to me far more likely that the Jews there invented a complete ethnic and national history for themselves, so that their future as a nation would be assured. What would that do for Christianity?MRC_Hans said:Well, I'm glad to see you don't buy into that nonsense.
MRC_Hans said:First of all, we don't know Pythagora's history to that extent. It is highly probable that he is a historical person, but our knowledge of his life story is largely anecdotes.
Secondly, there is no indication in what we know about him that he took any special interest in the Torah. He travelled to Egypt, Babylon, and possibly India. His only contact with Jews (and the only one you claim) seems to be exiles in various places. We don't even know if he knew any Hebrew at all. After all, he was a Greek, and spoke a main language of the time.
MRC_Hans said:What role could a few words derived from the scripture of a, even then rather despised, minority religion possibly have played?
Agreed. But the elaborately distinctive structure of the first verse of Genesis – the perimeter of the G1 Square – cries out that a square of that size is the place to start looking. The rest should follow automatically (I have given the rationale), except to Jews who, though best placed to undertake the task, also have most to lose.MRC_Hans said:Pal, ANY points taken from an 8x8 matrix must necessarily form a geometrical pattern. There is no other way they can be arranged.
Same answer as previous.MRC_Hans said:It is only a right angle because you have chosen to draw it that way.
Same answer again.MRC_Hans said:And artefacts of the fact that you have arbitrarily chosen to work in an 8x8 matrix, where right-angled triangles will abound.
Agreed, but the principles encapsulated by the theorem were not always known. An important question is when and how did its essence become encoded in the first verse of Genesis? Notice that my post #361 addresses only the 28 Hebrew letters of Genesis 1:1, rather than the whole Genesis Seal.MRC_Hans said:No, he saw it in facts. Listen, Pythagoras' rule is not exactly rocket science. The brilliance lies in realizing that it is a universal rule, but you can confirm it experimentally.
I would argue that my speculation is informed by new information. I grant that I am still alone in accepting the objective reality of the Genesis Seal. But I do have the advantage of still knowing al lot more about it that I have already posted here. My next post to show more Seal content will be a relatively short one. It will extend the list of geometrical attributes of the matrix seen in Figure 5(b). They will include shapes that are not so well suited to presentation in a rectangular matrix., which says a lot for the author’s skill and foresight in addressing objections that you yourself have raised.MRC_Hans said:I have highlighted the key word, here. You are speculating. Wildly.
You have not shown that the pattern is deliberate, and you haven not even made probable that there should be a connection to Pythagoras of Samos.
Hans
I presume the next step is to make predictions based on the Genesis Seal discoveries.
So when is Phil Collins old band and the guy married to Heidi Klum going to have their concert?
Dunno, but give the world a warning first.
Given that you said earlier that Genesis has word breaks after 14, 21 and 28 characters (I think I've remembered that correctly), does that not imply a 7x7 square/spiral should be used? Why did you settle on the 8x8 grid, especially as using 64 characters cuts off in the middle of a word?
