Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Do you believe in the "Bible Code?" Supposedly, using computers, people can find predictions of the assasinations of people, wars, and such. I have seen several of these (like here ) Of course, there are skeptics. (Like this guy! ) He found things like that in Moby Dick. What do you think? (note: If this is in the wrong part of the forum, move it, please.)

YT2095 Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 there is a saying; "there are non so blind as those that won`t see". it has a counterpart: "you can see anything you want to, if you look hard enough". I think the latter is more in play in this instance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Demosthenes- Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 It's called Equal distant lettering, They use the original hebrew to "translate" from. In a really big book you can find just about anything you want using this "code". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 22, 2004 Author Share Posted February 22, 2004 That's what I think. Try War and Peace, there should be plenty in there. In the bible, it appears as if Earth will be destroyed by a comet in 2012 (2010?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atinymonkey Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 There is a 'sort of' code. It's quite real and logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atinymonkey Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 You work it out, I'll give you a hint. Base of all language. I'm not keen on polls that have (explain) demands on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Demosthenes- Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 That's what I think. Try War and Peace, there should be plenty in there.In the bible, it appears as if Earth will be destroyed by a comet in 2012 (2010?). No, it doesn't say that. The way that equal distant letter works is: They scan the original Hebrew into a computer. They look for words that form every X amount of letters. So let's say that they found the word Bible using it, in every 5 letters. The passage that they found it in would have the letters B I B L E ever five letters. So it might look something like this: abcdB efghI ijklB mnopL qrstE (only instead of just letters where I used abcd... they found the word among a passage in the bible, didn't want to take the time to find a passage that works ) Then they put the word Bible down the side and spell out the rest of the letters like this: abcdB efghI ijklB mnopL qrstE (just pretend all the letters line up) Then they look for words in the "grid" of letters, like a word search. So when they found the phrase "End of the world" (maybe they found "eath destroyed" or something like that) They found words like "comet" in the "Grid" of letters, and since hebrew letters also mean numbers they can pull the number 2010 or 2012 out of the "grid" if they want to. I hope this explained it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinch Paxton Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 It's funny, but I used to believe this sort of thing until I was about 25, and that's a long time. I don't know if I became more intelligent, or I just realised that people who tell you about these strange things are only telling you half of the facts. You learn that they hide the major facts that shatter their dreams, it is too painful for them to realise that they have wasted maybe 8 years of their lives on something that turned out totally false. The problem with the bible code is that it conforms to statistical probability. It is supposed to happen! The man who discovered the codes was sceptical at first, until a great mathematician told him that the codes were way beyond probability! According to the mathematician, this was a miracle! It's a pity that the mathematician was not a great statistician. He had some flaws in his calculations, and he didn't follow the correct procedures for calculating the odds of letters falling into certain patterns. Now...Did we land on the Moon? Pincho.

-Demosthenes- Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 they didn't even find very big phrases, maybe they found phrases like "End of World" near other words like "comet" but they could easily find other words like "flood". It's really just a hoax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooeypoo Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Someone once told me the exact number of pages in the original bible (yes, the hebrew one) and i don't remember. In short - there are a LOT. And alot of words. And a lot of letters. And the code keeps changing - sometimes it's "every 6 words" sometimes it's "the second letter of every third word" bla bla bla The options are infinite. If you want to find words in the bible by a certain CODE it's the easiest thing to do. I have LOTS of similar words that show that the bible code is a complete hoax, but most of them are in hebrew. If you insist, I'll translate them but I don't think it's that important to the thread ~moo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atinymonkey Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Well, the original torah would be 5 pages long. Ha. I made a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Demosthenes- Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 5 pages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooeypoo Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 antimonkey: The original Torah would be not written And the written one is MUCH more than 5 pages hehe they found scrolls. The debate is when it was written. I don't know f you know but there's a REALLY strict rule that there are NO CHANGES commited to the bible other than the dots that help reading it. That's *it* - even the mistakes you can't fix. It's one of the oldest books available. It's also true, though, that it probably wasn't written as a whole book but as a bunch of scriptures that were combined together along the times, but the "original" torah was MUCH MUCH more than 5 pages ~moo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Demosthenes- Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I really don't understand, but everytime I ask a question like this someone deletes it. I'm so lost, posts disapearing, the number 5 will haunt me to the end of my days. I think I'm a little slow, I'm only a teen, maybe you all are all adults with you're adult humor. But I can say whatevr I want in this post because it'll be deleted anyway I guess I'll study this thread for a while so I can understand! 5??

-Demosthenes- Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I couldn't find it though. Maybe I never posted it :scratch: Thanks Edit: Wait! I know I got one of my posts deleted before! In the "Random Sterelization" thread. I'm sure! Maybe you never saw it but someone deleted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
