Terry, do you believe that templeOS is the literal biblical third temple of prophecy? It's my understanding that the new temple of the holy spirit, as built by jesus, is the body of every believer. Also, I (politely) find it difficult to believe that God speaks through the program. I struggled with the question of how God influences our world in a (mostly) deterministic universe and I also came to the possible conclusion that the supernatural world and and natural one exchange information at the places where we can see no other possible source of the information. However, isn't that just a safer version of the 'God of the gaps' theory? Also, if there is intelligent meaning in the numbers that come from the Oracle, would statistical analysis show that the numbers represent more than just an even distribution that we'd expect from random numbers? If information is being communicated, shouldn't it be discernable from gibberish even if we don't know exactly what it says? I don't mean to attack you or your project, but I don't believe in the Oracle and I especially dont believe that you have constructed the third temple of Jewish prophecy, which would cross into false prophet territory.
Pic related is the prophet Elijah to whom God spoke without need of a machine
