I think that the [answer given by Tgr here](https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/a/44381/42126) is the most valid one, though it does not fit the Skeptics site very well.

My answer probably borders on original research also, but just to illustrate the point, here are a few more constants that I found in Genesis 1:1 using a [simple Python script][1].

* **e to 7 digits**: (sum of letters) + (sum of products of each word) / ((products of word lengths) * (sum of letters)) = 2718,2828
* **sqrt(2) to 4 digits**: (product of letters) * (sum of products of each word) / ((product of words) * (number of letters)) = 1,4141292 * 10^24
* **golden ratio to 4 digits**: (product of word lengths) + (sum of letters) + (number of words) + (sum of letters) - (number of letters) = 16 181

Similarly in John 1:1:

* **tau to 5 digits**: ((number of letters) + (number of words) + (sum of letters)) * (number of words) = 62832
* **golden ratio to 5 digits**: ((product of word lengths) / (sum of word products) + (number of words)) * (product of word sums) = 1,6180941 * 10^37

And in the phrase *"Are the mathematical constants e and pi encoded in the Bible"* when assigning letters A-Z values 1-26:

* **pi to 5 digits**: ((product of word lengths) + (sum of letters)) / ((number of letters) - (number of words)) = 31415.2

Depending on how complex formulas are allowed, any number could be formed. But the first one on the list is similar complexity as the ones in question, while having two more digits of precision.

It is still a cool coincidence that a combination exists where the same formula applied to two similar verses both yield interesting results.

(Based on https://skeptics.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2924/faq-what-constitutes-original-research "It is acceptable to provide a collection of evidence", and the calculations needed are also trivial to execute.)
