I knew the right angle triangle theorum, but th rest seemed like wild garbage.-Pythagoreans had some very interesting thoughts--and they influence modern Pagan movements--for whatever that's worth to you. It's very new-age. -I never thought I'd say this, but this guy wastes your precious time. You should stick to Behe/Dembski. Not to quash the guy's freedom of speech, but the moment I see "Tetractys" I see someone who grabbed an ancient symbol and is... letting his imagination run with him. -The theorem he references is a pinnacle theorem in "Mystical Geometry." Being of Jewish descent you might find it at least an interesting cultural peculiarity; it was ultimately one of several figures coopted into Qabbalist practice during the Jewish golden age in... well during the Moorish occupation of Spain. (1300's maybe? Shaky there.) -But... I won't want to bore you if you don't think it has any real merit.

\"Why is it, Master, that ascetics fight with ascetics?\"

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
