A: Ivan Panin
“In 1890 he discovered some phenomenal mathematical designs underlying both the Greek text of the New Testament and the Hebrew text of the Old Testament.He was to devote 50 years of his life painstakingly exploring the numerical structure of the scriptures, generating over 43,000 detailed, hand-penned pages of analysis.”
In 1899 Panin sent a letter to the New York Sun challenging his audience to disprove his thesis that the numerical structure of scripture showed its divine origin.
Ivan Panin proclaimed ‘No order at all; and not of God’. He discovered that everything in God’s creation: animal, vegetable, or mineral, has a unique mathematical signature.

Mathematics Proves Holy Scriptures – by Karl Sabiers 158 pages
This work by Karl Sabiers (previously Astounding New Discoveries) is a biography and exposition of the discoveries made by Ivan Panin including examples, how they were discovered, how they prove the Bible is a God breathed Book, and how the discoveries affect the reader. It is a good synopsis of Panin’s work
Panin’s Bible Chronology by Ivan Panin – Amazon Ivan Panin 218 pages.
Panin harmonizes Scriptural dating then brilliantly backs it up with Numerics. Includes a list of every knowable date in the Bible. Panin tackles the toughest of “contradictions” that have puzzled scholars for years and demonstrate Scripture’s perfect harmony.“

B. Faulstich
Faulstich used a computer program to calculate many timing cycles, including precise moon phases, vernal equinoxes, Sabbath and Jubilee years, Faulstich calculated exact astronomical-based dates for 13 key Biblical events. Faulstich claims that he and his colleagues have achieved:
“A new scientific breakthrough in religious studies,” and that his group’s work “Shows that the chronology in the Bible is scientifically provable through the exact science of astrophysics. This has the potential to ‘prove’ that G-d exists, and that the One G-d of the universe is the One G-d of the Bible.”Total probability = 10-130

Bible Chronology and the Scientific Method by Eugene W. Faulstich (Feb 1990) (Quite expensive on Amazon…..)
At a meeting of the British Association of scientist held in 1865, a manifesto was drawn up and signed by 617 men of science, many of whom were of the highest eminence. In this document they declared their belief not only in the truth and authenticity of Holy Scriptures, but also in the harmony of Scripture with natural science. A copy of this manifesto was deposited in the Bodleian Library of Oxford. Scholars today seem reluctant to examine Scriptures with scientific tools, even though we have at our disposal a great deal of knowledge which was not available to the respected scholars above. I wonder if the credibility of Scripture has slipped to such a degree, that even those who confess in-errancy are afraid to critically examine the Bible for error. It is as though a careful study of Scripture will somehow be a threat to God himself. There is at least one exact science in the Bible; that is the way the Bible writers stated events. All biblical dates are dependent upon the position of the sun and the moon. But in addition, some dates include the day of the week. As a result of our knowledge about astronomy, and our access to computers, we can determine the accuracy of the biblical dates The research covered within this book has convinced this writer that the chronology of the Bible is dependable. If the arguments presented here stand up to the scrutiny of other scholars, biblical chronology will have far-reaching implications. Mankind would be forced to reconsider its view on such subjects as the origin of the universe and of mankind. It follows: if Scripture is true, then the God of Scripture is also true, and all other gods are false
Frank Tipler (Professor of Mathematical Physics):
“When I began my career as a cosmologist some twenty years ago, I was a convinced atheist. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that one day I would be writing a book purporting to show that the central claims of Judeo-Christian theology are in fact true, that these claims are straightforward deductions of the laws of physics as we now understand them. I have been forced into these conclusions by the inexorable logic of my own special branch of physics.” Note: Tipler since has actually converted to Christianity, hence his latest book, The Physics Of Christianity.
