Fair enough
Thing is , there is no reincarnation in Buddhism.
No problem. You hit a nugget with the symbolism of the atomic numbers, though. The Gematria of YHWH is 26, which relates to iron as an exceptional element.
In general, a knowledge of hermeneutics. It's best to let the story from the text express itself without arbitrary expectations.
The usual interpretation is ability or strength. Why should anyone abandon the usual meaning in favour of one that doesn't work is verses like the following, since nobody was shown electromagnetism during the Exodus?
It's the English name for the set-apart spirit. There's nothing from the context of Psalm 51 that would make sense it it was electromagnetism.
If you want to convince people that your ideas have merit then you should have a rational way of dealing with criticism like this.
So Daniel was really rescued from being electrocuted by those electromagnetic lions? ROFL

To the contrary, by placing your interpretation of the word back into context we see how it does not fit in my view. That is a form of refutation which is near the top of the pyramid.
Technically, from the Krebs cycle or from fermentation. The electrochemical process within motor nerves activates the strength of the muscle, it doesn't provide the strength itself.
No, Exodus 9:14-16 is about the power of YHWH, not the power of Moses. You could argue that the pillar of fire was a manifestation of the power of YHWH, but fire is typically a result of a chemical process, not an electromagnetic one.
Habaukkuk 3:4 isn't about Moses.
Your context is too general to be meaningful. Spirit is ruach (breath/wind), electromagtism is awr (light), as I've pointed out before.
No, the word holy is a translation of qodesh, meaning set-apart.
Sorry, but if they're unfamiliar with the meaning of the original Hebrew words for the text that they're using then they're not the brightest.
That wasn't me.
electromagnetism and the weak forces have been unified. so, we have three.There are Four Fundamentals Forces of Nature...
In physics, the fundamental interactions or fundamental forces are the interactions that do not appear to be reducible to more basic interactions. There are four fundamental interactions known to exist:
- Gravity
- Electromagnetism
- Weak interaction
- Strong interaction
Fundamental interaction - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
We find this taught in the Old Testament in the famous 'Ezekiel's Wheels' passages...
Ezekiel 1:10
"As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle."
LION
The Bible describes the Lion as POWERFUL...
Daniel 6:27
"He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions"
Note that the word 'Power' in the Bible is the same as our modern word, Electromagnetism. Thus, the Lion would best represent Electromagnetism.
OX
The Bible describes the Ox as STRONG...
Proverbs 14:4
"Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox"
Thus, the Ox would best represent the Strong Force.
EAGLE
The Bible describes the Eagle as swift. The Eagle can also defy GRAVITY...
Obadiah 1:4
"Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD"
It is the concept of 'what goes up, must come down'. Thus, the Eagle would best represent Gravity.
MAN
Compared to all the other Creatures, Man is WEAK...
Matthew 26:41
"Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak"
Thus, the Man would best represent the Weak Force.
Summary
The Four Forces of Nature are a perfect match for the Four Faces of the living Creatures of Ezekiel.
Note that the Four Forces pattern is found elsewhere in the Bible, such as in the Book of Revelation...
Revelation 4:6-7
"And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle."
When One uses the above information to interpret the rest of Ezekiel, what we discover is that the vision describes Quantum Mechanics and Particle Physics within the overall theme of Salvation.
The emu, maybe. They beat us in a war, they deserve the spoils of victory.
Well, eisegesis is a rather precise and weighty word. Perhaps "fanciful" or "whimsical" would suit your thesis better.
My guess is that any number, can be associated with something Biblical. You just need sufficient imagination. Probably I could find prophecies, and amazing messages or evidence from God, in my Italian Cooking Books of Recipes, too, by using the same form of rationalizations.You are on the right track. God's highest form is a 'Consuming Fire' where the Trinity (physical/particle) becomes One (non-physical/wave)...
Hebrews 12:29
"For our God is a consuming fire."
The Consuming Fire is a sentient Unified Field of information and energy.
Fire in the Bible is often associated with Light...
Ezekiel 1:13
"As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning."
The 'Lamps' are similar to the concept of a very bright LED or Light Bulb. They go 'up and down' because they are Electrons doing what Electrons do. Lightning of course is a form of Energy.
And with that you can now solve the Theory of Everything and get your Nobel Prize.
