So he could be entirely correct, but it wouldn't necessarily mean much beyond "the Hebrew alphabet was shaped with this in mind."
(Emet, or truth, is formed from the first, middle, and last letters of the alphabet, and so sort of summarizes the alphabet and stands for both the Torah and creation -- but that's less likely a linguistic coincidence than it is an artifact of the language being arranged to make this so, or the word developing its meaning to reflect those nuances.)
Not to mention the fact that it's all a matter of which forms of the letters you use, since as with other written languages, written Hebrew developed and changed over time, and there is no surviving text of Genesis from the time when it was written (regardless of when you choose to believe it was written).

You know how those Hebrew letter forms go from thick to thin? Imagine each letter was made from a 4-inch wide flat piece of copper. So, in order to shape a piece of copper so that it would resemble the thicks and thins of Hebrew letter forms (you know how they appear to be done with a calligraphy pen?), you would have to bend the form so that you are looking at the SIDE of the copper at the points where the letterforms become THIN and shape it so that the widest point is facing the audienece where the letterfroms become fat. Do you get that? He then took these copper sculptures, which were easily identifiable and stuck them together like some Hellraiser puzzle.
It was shocking to see them fit perfectly together! It really was.

He'd probably just say it was aliens who gave Jews the Torah.

Von Daniken's conclusions ... that guy should have a show, and people from the audience can just ask questions, and he can rant about the answer for awhile ("aliens steal socks from your dryer!"), and David Cross will narrate and mock him.

His website has been taken over and the people who are now posting messgaes there say he is like a car salesman who is selling cars with no engines. His "secret keys" are lies and his audience is "too stupid to know the difference": http://www.danwinter.com/index.html
Then I found this, which is tiny print and I didn't read it all, but appears these are fans of Dan Winter who think this is a witch hunt to shut him up (why this would be necessary is unclear): http://poetpiet.tripod.com/2002/DanWinter.htm
I also found Dan Winter's first book in PDF format, since now all his videos and books are illegal to sell:"Sacred Geometry, Alphabet of The Heart" http://www.soulinvitation.com/dnaring/FIRSTBK.PDF
Seems prety odd that deciding to create 3d letter forms of the Hebrew alphabet would somehow be copyright infringement becuase some sculptor has beat you to it. Winters apparantly lost his case because he had not given Mr. Tenan credit for the 3d letter forms.
That seems absurd.

BELOW EXAMPLE OF U.S. LAW ENFORCEMENT EQUALS INABSURDITY THE CLAIM OF A HOUSEWIFE WHO SUED THEMANUFACTURER BECAUSE HER PUPPY DOG DIED IN THEWASHING MACHINE...
... a message in defence of Science...
Dear all,
everytime that Stan says, that Dan's equations are a fraud, hemakes it strong with court testimonies. Dan's equation is NOTa fraud, it is a pure interprojection of excuisitely straightforwardequations. This is what we understand from the message on TedSmall's website. As long as people refuse to look at the actualmathematic contents, rather than the "social" form of what's theissue, either because of dogmatism or simply for lacking brains,Stan's false allegations will never be dismantled. Stan's claim isjust as absurd as making the number Pi (3.141) out of clay, askingcopyright on it and sueing every scientist who says it is a really amathematical formula. If a mouse wins in court, that does not makehim an elephant. And, if lawsmen do not understand mathematics, that does not mean that the rest of society does not understand it either. Unfortunately, Dan himself may have be lacking the timeand the exact detailed mathematical presentation to make his casesound under legal pressure. But the truth is simple, like every truth.
This is what Stan did not discover himself, and which he now apparentlywants to hide for the world, helped by lawsman who do understandlaw because they studied it, but do not understand mathematics simplybecause they did NOT study it.
So NOW follows the never-before published (also not by Dan)MATHEMATICAL FORMULA FOR PRODUCING A 3D FORM THATHAPPENS TO LOOKS VERY SIMILAR E.G. TO HEBREW LETTERFORMS. THIS IS A CREATION OF NATURE, NOT A CREATION OFDAN WINTER...
