Is the Bible Code Genuine Science?
I see that a, "Code Breaker", a Harold Gans is involved here in this video.
A, "Crypt-Analyst", formerly involved with the U.S., DOD, and NSA.

The Bible Code is based on certain words/phrases found at intervals through the Hebrew text, and linked to other phrases. According to the books it is statistically only found in the OT and can't be reproduced in any other text.
The assassination of the Israeli primeminister and the twin towers were coded.
The problem that I see is that there may be other phrases linked to each 'fact' that may completely change the meaning. Eg, it may be written
'20/2/2013 earth asteroid devastation' that sounds fairly conclusive. But then 'narrowly averted' or 'wrongly expected' may have been missed in the text.
Using it as a prophecy I think is subject to errors

If my memory is correct, the book - which was a best-seller - predicted the end of the world or suchlike... in 2000.
They then said they'd miscalculated, re-launched the book - it became a best-seller again - saying it would actually happen in 2006.

I personally would like to see the thought pursued further and like an author (any) not censored or eliminated messages if there is a choice. For instance, I'm sure there is a code, Creator is good, and another code Creator is not. I understand there is a code that says God is good and another that God is not. Who knows if this is true. Here one is already seen as good, the other is not. As we are predisposed to listen one way we probably write one way as well.
But I would like to see the completed list side by side. I'd like to see the rules and guidelines and decision methodology but we have no control over that, someone else has control. Control is very important. I would most would like to see what was tossed away or at least told why, not only what was kept.
The view probably is it is treated entirely one way when being side by side may show us options. Unfortunately none of us here are experts and may mean one has to choose this path. Always remember, the majority of us are recipients of knowledge. We do not know if it is true unless perused. In a way, I leave it open. I already have my relation with Creator as we all do.

No it is not science at all, you can apply the code to any book and come up with all sorts of rubbish.

However, psycho, as stated in the video, not nearly to the same degree of involvment in the matrix of text.
I do not think it ought to be used as prophecy, Knight.
What is intriguing is about it's relevance to the nature of reality in time and space, regarding say, Tegmark's "Mathematical Universe", or, "Theory of Everything".
"Does it validate, "Destiny", and "Fate", apart from time and space?" - Is the real question.
IMO, it does.

They were using it as prophecy! They said it was secretly written in the text i.e. a future event that would happen on that date.
They were wrong.

The fact that the Bible didn't have numbered verses until the 16th century, and that there's many word variations based on which manuscript you wish to use really demolishes the idea of a Bible code.
