Goddammit, ANOTHER Bible Code Book!

If any of you have absurdly long memories, a LONG time ago I discoursed on the first Bible Code book. The premise is the same as the first; using computers, a reporter with the help of a jewish mathematician has "found" that on the pages of the bible, you can find "patterns" that form prophecies like "President Bush" "The Second" and bullshit like that. I said that it was most likely that the author stuck every page of the old testament in the computer and told it to find random combinations of letters, and some seemed to create "fulfilled" prophecies, so he wrote a book about.

This time now, he is warning us that his studies of these bible codes have revealed that unless we do something, the world will end in four years. I found it most amusing when I saw him write, "But I don't believe in God. I'm a reporter. I require hard facts." Can anyone say BUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT!

The bastard already wrote a book about his belief in the finding of prophecy in the old testament, and he claims he's doesnt believe in God? Not to mention he's a reporter, and we all KNOW that they need hard facts(GREAT SARCASM). Anyway, I hope this enlightens you all.

p.s. I don't know how to do sigs, so I'll just type my only one below.

'Fraid not. You'll have to look at it at your local library. It was sitting in the new nonfiction section at mine.

This supposed "Bible Code" is based on what the author calls "Equidistant Letter Sequences," or ELS's. Basically, you pick a number, and pick a letter, then you take every xth letter after that, where x is the number you picked. Magically, words and sentences appear. However, they appear in any work of sufficient size, including Moby Dick, the dictionary, the phone book, and Ulysses, to name a few. So unless Herman Melville, James Joyce, Webster, and the phone company all have a direct pipeline to God and their works are holy writ, you can safely dismiss the Bible Code.

This reminds me of the tabloids constanly putting out new stories like "New Prophicies Found in Dead Sea Scrolls".

Total, utter, bs. The people who are buying that are the same people the fall for the tabs.

Well, you can look up info on the old "Bible code" at www.skepdic.com. Just look under "B."

The Bible is sort of like a big ink blot. Let's all see what we can make out of it...

I'd say it's nonsense. However, using the code, it does coincedentally say that some moron would make up a code "proving" the Bible is prophetic.

This is always annoying me, the dipshits mostly "predict" past events.
