Then you know what? I'd be impressed with that. I'd even count that as evidence for a creator.
However, if you believe a god created our universe and everything in it, takes an interest in all 7 billion of our lives, and gives us rules about who we can/can't have sex with, then I'd expect him/her to be a little bit above linguistic and mathematical tricks to try and hint at the evidence.
I mean, he's dictating a book for ******s sake. Just lay out the evidence, and let us work up to that level where we can understand his message.
I'm pretty sure you could pick out any books, and provide equally fascinating clues to the beginning of the universe mixing maths with dates.
If religion requires faith, then why are you searching for evidence?
Faith is believing in things without any evidence.

faith can happen with or without evidence, whatever evidence is deemed to mean.
