I personally like the example of how god might leave his signiature somewhere in the digits of PI. Such a discovery would convince me of a 'creator' - if the signiature were to be an unambiguous confirmation of some property known to us already (like the periodic table)
Just to add to the PI thing, if you convert PI into binary, every software that ever was and ever will be written will be found in Pi.
Not only that, every picture that ever exists and could exists is in Pi. Somewhere in the infinite digits of Pi exists a picture of Hillary Clinton being inaugurated President, Jesus taking a swim on the beach, and me making out with Britney Spears. Hard to believe, huh (especially the Britney Spears part)?

To be honest, I'm not sure it's true, either. I went to a Math lecture about random numbers and I asked if the digits in Pi were random. The professor said, as far as we can tell, to whatever billion digits they were at, it seemed so.
However, who know? Maybe after the 10^1000 digits, nothing by 0's and 1's appear (but in unpredictable order). The number would still be non-periodic and still be irrational.
Does anyone with a math degree know more?
(Sorry if this is all off topic)

Re: Bleh.
That really brighten up my day Jar. Now when my workplace asks me why my project is going so slow, I'll blame the Fall for creating the Spherical Coordinate system.
