"Gino Inquiry of May 4th"
Hello Gino:
Regarding your inquiry. The statistical probability chart you
asked about came from a mathematician by the name of Dr. Peter Stoner,
who taught at a California college. He published his findings in a
book back in the 1950's. I am at a loss for the name of the book
at the moment.
Similar statistical & probability work has been published by the
late Grant Jeffrey. He noted quite a few statistical studies in
several of his later books.
In the scientific community there exists an axiom that anything with a
mathematical probability of 1 in 10 to the 50th power or with 50 zeros
behind it is considered impossible.
As I recall, if you counted only 48 prophecies that Jesus fulfilled, the
compound probabilities were 1 in 10 to the 150th power or with 150
zeros following. Virtually, the results had to be of a divine
designer.
I will go through my files to see if I can locate Dr. Peter Stoner's
book title. I know it has been long out of print and unavailable.
