fallingalien Posted July 27, 2005 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2005 http://www.research-systems.com/codes/nt_codes.htm read those things about it, it's really strange how it predicts things. I'm not sure but I think it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marduk Posted July 27, 2005 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2005 The bible code is a statistical party trick and nothing more Somebody proved that by using the same system on "Moby Dick" with similar results Unless you think Herman Melville is the greatest prophet in the history of mankind i mean the book was good but........ If you're still unsure i suggest that the next thing you read is "Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis" http://cs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/dilugim/StatSci/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isis-999 Posted July 27, 2005 #5 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Fallen, Everything is not some great conspiracy.. We have been on this topic already to day.. But since you missed it... Take any book..large book..lots of words....And i promise you :You will find the same codes, it's about the number of words....any large book works.. They have proven this with the book Moby Dick..

nativechick1989 Posted July 27, 2005 #6 Share Posted July 27, 2005 No, I don't think the Bible Code is true. I also heard of that system used on 'Moby Dick' and although fascinating . . . that's just it . . . it was fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeAth_Of_CaRTMan Posted July 27, 2005 #7 Share Posted July 27, 2005 (edited) OK break the convention of Nostradamus and the like and actually use this so called encrypted prophecy finding to actually predict something before it happens. Now that would be impressive. Edited July 27, 2005 by DeAth_Of_CaRTMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isis-999 Posted July 27, 2005 #8 Share Posted July 27, 2005 They always find the code after it has happen.. Tell me something i have yet to hear on the news.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodie.Lynne Posted July 27, 2005 #9 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I wonder what would happen, and what 'prophecies' would be revealed if we did this trick with Websters Unabridged Dictionary? It ought to be..... educational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfaman Posted July 28, 2005 #13 Share Posted July 28, 2005 The bible code is rubbish. The way the "messages" are found could lead to anything being found, some of the codes have gaps of 8 letters between the letters used, and they only work if you set out all the letters in rows and columns.

Mr Ed Posted July 28, 2005 #16 Share Posted July 28, 2005 The guy who first came up with the bible codes issued his main opponent a challenge. Come up with a code in Moby Dick. He did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moby Dick had 3 or 4 "codes", the bible seems to have thousands... the thing people always ask is why doenst the Bible code predict things beofre they ahppen ?? well first it isnt a "crystal ball" and second you would have to know what to look for ...

Pyxis Posted July 28, 2005 #20 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Ok, if you have to know what to look for then using it for anything but hindsight is useless. And using it to find things that have already happened is just finding what you want to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyxis Posted July 28, 2005 #22 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I'm not much to believe prophecy because it's always to vague. You can read anything into it. Those that say they new what was going to happen before they it did, are more than likely looking for attention. If feel the bible code is one of those things. You always learn about what it says after the fact. That's not prophecy it's hindsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marduk Posted July 28, 2005 #23 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Drosnin issued this challenge: "When my critics find a message about the assassination of a Prime Minister encrypted in [the novel] Moby Dick, I will believe them." Professor Brendan McKay, of the Department of Computer Science at the Australian National University, took up Drosnin's challenge and made extensive computer searches through the English text of Moby Dick.# Using the same method described by Drosnin, McKay found "predictions" of the assassinations of Indira Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, and others. According to McKay, he discovered that Moby Dick also "prophesied" the murder of Yitzhak Rabin. he left it there because he'd already proved this theory erroneous had he continued he would have found just as many messages in the book as drosnin had.

isis-999 Posted July 28, 2005 #25 Share Posted July 28, 2005 It would be interesting if they could find just one code, and share before the fact and not after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
