Synopsis
Researcher Bonnie Gaunts continues the line of research begun by John Michell into the geometric design of Stonehenge, the Great Pyramid and the Golden Proportions. Chapters in this book cover the following topics: the amazing number 144 and the numbers in the design of the New Jerusalem; the Great Pyramid, Stonehenge and Solomon's Temple display a common design that reveals the work of a Master Designer; the amazing location of Bethlehem; how the process of photosynthesis reveals the sacred design while transforming light into organic substance; how the Bible's number code (gematria) reveals a sacred design; more.

Impressive, informative, occasionally controversial.
7. September 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
Bonnie Gaunt is a mathematician and theologian who in Beginnings: The Sacred Design presents a fascinating and informative study on the Sacred Geometry of Stonehenge, the Great Pyramid, and other structures of ancient time. Of particular interest is her presentation on how the process of photosynthesis reveals the sacred design common to such antiquarian edifices , the Bible's number code (gematria) with respect to the "sacred design", and more. Beginnings: The Sacred Design is an impressive, challenging, informative, occasionally controversial, very welcome contribution to metaphysics and the eloquent designs of creation as employed and exemplified by the inspired builders of antiquity.

Interesting, but are the Numbers Valid?
2. Oktober 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As if the Bible didn't have enough messages, people have long looked for hidden secrets in it. This isn't about the "Bible codes" (see Who Wrote the Bible Code? : A Physicist Probes the Current Controversy) which has been largely abandoned by most rational people. Gaunt focuses on gematria which is the fact that each Greek and Hebrew letter has a corresponding number. She theorizes that the gematria of key terms and verses in the Bible point to numbers in the design of the universe. Why would God bother with such obscure coding? Good question, but on the other hand He put signs of design in DNA and cells that was only recently detectable (see The Cell's Design: How Chemistry Reveals the Creator's Artistry and Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design).
While Gaunt goes through great pains to show links between the Bible's and nature's numbers, it's not always convincing. Take the Earth's diameter she uses in one example. One can find differing figures, and depending on rounding, one can get different results. The ancients often did round numbers for ease, so is Gaunt right or not? Sometimes? Her one number for Jesus she says is the latitude for Bethelham, but a look on a map finds a slightly different one. Did she bother to check? Some have suggested that the continental shift in 2000 years accounts for the change. Possibly. Her calculation of the years between Adam and Noah are suspect because we know counting up generations in the Bible ignores that the Hebrews didn't record everyone (see A Matter of Days: Resolving a Creation Controversy).
She does get into the Golden Section a bit which has long been argued to be a signature of the Creator since it appears so often in nature and man's works (see Divine Proportion: Phi In Art, Nature, and Science and The Golden Section: Nature's Greatest Secret). Math is the universal langauge and don't reoccuring patterns point to design?
She claims Isaiah 19:19,20 and Jeremiah 32:19,20 point to the pyramids in Giza. But why would God use a pagan site for some sort of sign? And then Jeremiah's third location must be Stonehenge. Again, why? She refers to legends about Jeremiah visting Britian. These are very spurious and unable to verify legends.
I will admit that there is some interesting claims here, and perhaps some truth, and this makes a fascinating study. Maybe she clarifies and builds on this in her other books. There are many signs of design in the universe (The Creator and the Cosmos: How the Latest Scientific Discoveries of the Century Reveal God and Intelligent Design: The Bridge Between Science & Theology) that are much easier to see and verify. God is in the numbers, but is he in the Bible's numbers? Decide for yourself.
