He's another numerologist, finding patterns and coincidences in numbers
(something that will always appear if you keep looking) and trying to
claim they are significant.

For example, if you look at:
<http://www.creation-answers.com/system.htm>
he finds great interest in the fact that 50 years is approximately
(50*7*7 + 7)/4 lunar months [1], tying this into biblical rules about a
7*7+1 economic cycle. Similarly, 49 lunar months are almost exactly 1447
days.

From these coincidences he assumes that the system must have been designed
and created. He then assumes that the slight differences are proof of a
golden past when the numbers were exact. Typical creationist reverse logic.

[1] Except it's not - he's about 4 lunar months out, which he fudges
through a triennial "leap week".
