Is the Bible Code real?

You might not find any.

This might interest sims: the bible code says bush is the one who destroys the world. It involves a nuclear exchange in 2006. Because bush was mentioned in 2006, many believed this predicted his 2004 win. They were right.

That scared me for a second. I guess I should move to Canada!

Really, I'd be surprised.

Don't believe it, anything could be made into code. Look:

I think that Moby Dick and the Bible were originally written to predict the future through code.

I want to hear the opinions of those who don't think it's a complete joke.

Uhh... what? The poll so far has 0% believing it.

 

[The Last Conformist]

Now 5% believe and 10% aren't sure.

You could find these kinds of things in any piece of literature.

Some claim to watch Ann Coulter for her ideas rather then her body. In short, "some" are ********.

Wait, are you saying that other people watch Ann Coulter for her body? They must be in a pretty sorry state if they think she's worth looking at. Hell CNN has better looking women hosting news stuff (if thats the only reason you watch news).

How can any of you not believe in the moby dick code?

Well the "Bible Code" prredicted that we would invade syria in 2005 because of iraqi chem weapons in the bekah vally. Unless that happens, it is most likly bull****. And this is coming from a bible thumping christian

For the Bible Code to be real, it would require God's transators to be free from typing errors, or egotistical revisions.

I wouldn't even take everything the Bible says as truth, let alone what it doesn't say.

This "code" can be found in any book if you look hard enough. Meaning that it's just a conincidence.

But the fact that the Mobey Dick Code states that "Jesus is not the Christ" negates the Bible Code's authority!

[sarcasm]You're a complete ignoranus! As an American, I'm ashamed the country has people like you! Like, gosh! How can you say that it wasn't Him that put those words into the Bible and at the same time call yourself a Christian![/sarcasm]

You guys do realize that it's not as simple as that? Each letter has to be a certain distance from each other. Such as skipping every 8 letters in this sentence would produce "I am god."

"I demand that each animal gets hugs and awesome accolades!"

It can still happen relatively often with so many books in existence, but it's not as easy as what everyone is insinuating. They basically try every combination possible (as long as it's not arbitrary, so skip 3 and then skip two, over and over, would work) and if they get a word or phrase that works, they use it.

^ I know but I'm just too lazy to make one like you did.

I never said i dont beleve it. Based on what i've read about it, it has the most compelling arguements in its favor than, say, Mastridamus (forgive spelling)

 

[newfangle]

I'm pretty sure I've come accross a mathematical proof based off of algorithm efficiency or something that shows that you can get any message out of any series of words. (using objectively defined rules such as spacing: "every 20 words")

I'm not superstitious enough to take Bible code seriously, but in response to those who have done: Isn't it wrong for Christians to try and predict the future?
