Not even going t start reading that until you've answered the people that are calling you out on this garbage. Quit preaching; it's really, really tedious, harms whatever feeble argument you might have had and it's going to get you banned.

Nobody is as blind as he who doens't want to see. Do you not see yourself among the blind? You are clinging to old tribal myths in spite of the evidence from the real world. That seems blind to me.Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge. Belief gets in the way of learning--Robert A.

BfD Sorry, you haven't "shown" anything. On the contrary, your old tribal myths have long since been shown to be mostly incorrect. You are a prime example of the old adage, "Belief gets in the way of learning." You are incapable of learning anything that goes against your a priori beliefs. That makes you the exact opposite of a scientist. The Enlightenment seems to have passed you by completely.Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

How about a pointer to this stuff. Claims of this type, if they are not to be dismissed as numerology at best, have a high threshold to meet before they will be considered credible. Given that we are in the science forums, I would have expected that the vetting process would be a little heavier on the evidence side. Bs'd The evidence side was taken care of when the Great Rabbi's Experiment was published in Statistical Science. Normally in science, a chance of 1 in 20 is taken as not te be coincidence anymore, for instance in testing medication. For publication in Statistical Science the bar was put a lot higher, they demanded that the codes would be there with a maximum chance of 1 in 1000. The Great Rabbi's Experiment beat those odds with a factor 50. The chances of the names of those rabbi's being coded together with their date of birth or death was smaller than 1 in 50,000. So after six years of brooding on the codes, and after calling in the worlds foremost expert on statistics who delved into it, and who couldn't find a flaw, it was published. That would take care of the science part. Edited by Eliyahu, : No reason given."The only reality is mind and observations." Richard Conn Henry, professor Johns Hopkin department of physics

You didn't even bother with the source I provided, did you. Here's another for you to ignore. Be sure not to look through all the links at the bottom. And yet another with lots of links to ignore, especially the "Expert Opinions" link toward the bottom where there are a dozen links to studies each with links to more studies. You want overwhelming? You got it. Bs'd Just give me something that compares to the Esther code I gave you, a code with a constantly repeating very signifiicant number, like 12,111 in the purim code. It just doesn't exist in any other text."The only reality is mind and observations." Richard Conn Henry, professor Johns Hopkin department of physics

And I have been assured, by another believer, that the odds against evolution are 1720. From this, do you see why we tend not to trust anything true believers say? ============== But if you want old myths, here is a good one:

Do you come with a promise of eternal happiness and plenty of virgins? My heaven is actually stocked with women who've been round the block a few times and know their way around. Who the heck wants a virgin?
If so, where do I send the cheque? One of the most sacred tenets of my religion is that I only take cash.

Let's just add statistics to the list of things you don't understand and move on, eh?

You as an evolutionist should believe that right away. But anyway, the chances of a human being forming by blind chance, as you think, are not 1 in 1720, but 1 in 10^40,000.

The links contain the information on the Tolstoy and Melville codes as well as other information that debunks your divine cryptography. As you said about the codes applies also to their refutation. "There is no debate necessary about these codes, because everybody can check them out, they are there. They are a fact." So check them out. They are a fact. Your holy protocols are bunk. The evidence has been provided, Eli. All you have to do is click a button and read. Bs'd I did, and I saw codes in for instance, Moby Dick. However, those codes don't have any statistical relevance, nor does McKay claim so. If you have an almost unlimited amount of terms and variations of a name to start searching for, and the skip you can use varies from very small to very large, then you are bound to find something. But, like I said, the statistical significance of that hovers around zero. However, like I said, for the Great Rabbi's Experiment, a maximum chance of 1 in 1000 was demanded for publication, and a chance of less than 1 in 50,000 was delivered. That is statistically significant. The Esther code, works with a skip of 12,111, which is a very significant number, because it is the amount of letters in the Esther scroll. Really significant numbers are hard to find, and you won't find more than a handfull for a given subject, so then your chances of finding anything go down dramatically. And when that selfsame significant number can be used several times more for the same subject, like it is the case in the Esther codes, then the chances of that happening by coincidence become astronomically small. So that is the difference between the Moby Dick codes, and the Torah codes. If you don't believe me, just give me something like the Esther code in Moby Dick. Codes being found with a very significant skip, which repeats itself a few times. It just doesn't exist . Here on this page http://cs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/dilugim/mobydet.txt McKay gives some skip numbers, Name Start Skip IGANDHI 13258 102857MOAWAD 44533 90073 812368 -116726 TROTSKY 836052 -61095 MLKING 234760 -26026 DOLLFUSS 787845 19000 SSIRHAN 4547 127000 89795 41773 499443 68585 528373 -12582 KENNEDY 93063 13798 888633 -7616 93063 13798 LINCOLN 642829 -1450 RABIN 327517 -4 As you can see they are totally irrelevant to the subject, usually very big, and not a single one repeats itself. So no statiscal significance whatsoever. Nor is that claimed by McKay. So bringing those codes is an exercise in futility. This in contradistinction to the Torah codes, which are statistically highly significant. Edited by Eliyahu, : No reason given."The only reality is mind and observations."

Just give me something that compares to the Esther code I gave you, a code with a constantly repeating very signifiicant number, like 12,111 in the purim code. Why should we? Your junk's already been debunked times a thousand. We do not need to entertain any further presumptions of your delusions. Any further nonsense numerology from you only shows your desperation, your cognitive dissonance, at having watched one of your personal pillars of faith ground into dust by truth. The bible codes have been shown to be false and that is all that is necessary. Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

Your junk's already been debunked times a thousand. No it is not. What has been shown, is that statistically non-significant codes exist in other big texts. No statistically significant codes have been shown in any other text than the Torah.
We do not need to entertain any further presumptions of your delusions. Any further nonsense numerology from you only shows your desperation, your cognitive dissonance, at having watched one of your personal pillars of faith ground into dust by truth. The bible codes have been shown to be false The Bible codes have not been shown to be false. To begin with, as I have shown, as everybody can ascertain for himself, the codes are there. Like the "Torah" codes in 4 of the 5 books in the Torah, with in the middle book the name of God coded. Something like that is not found in any other religious text, or any non-religious text, except maybe the BS text of Adequate, but that is made especailly for that purpose, and does not serve any other purpose. And the codes in the Torah are statiscally very significant, which is proven by the fact that peer reviewed publications are coming forth about them. The Purim code is an example of a code with a highly significant skip which repeats itself three times, which is extremely unlikely to happen by chance."The only reality is mind and observations."
