Yes, as Gillianren said, it's rubbish. And yes, I checked out the site. I see it's based on the claims and methodology of Michael Drosnin, whose work has been thoroughly debunked. If you need some material to confirm this, please go to cs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/dilugim/torah.htmlEssentially, these are the problems: 1. Hebrew has no vowels. This means a stream of consonants can represent a wide range of words, giving the Bible Coder more room to find meaning where he wants. 2. We're only told about the messages the Bible Coder wants us to hear. Because few of us know Hebrew, we're not likely to find out what messages the Bible Coder found but didn't tell us about, like "bblcdsbllcks", which obviously comes out as "Bible Code is bollocks". 3. Similar messages can be found in other books. The classic example is when Drosnin challenged his critics to find messages about him in "Moby Dick". They duly found a message in that book suggesting he'd be murdered, using exactly Drosnin's process. The lesson is this: take a large enough pool of letters and search in all sorts of directions, and you'll find letters which run together to make words. And as the pool increases in size, the number of words increases at an exponential rate. Conclusion: The Bible Code is bollocks.

Despite believing in the Bible, I also believe Bible Codes are crap.

As superfluous as it is for me to say this, yes, Bible codes are humbug.

I goto church,I don't believe entirely in the bible because its written by man,I do think there is a "code" in an uncanny way in the bible,and I don't think its God, its weird!!
also I think God and religion are 2 different things,I think that the big bang is too simplistic to explain things,such as how and why I love my friends and family!!
I like science..but logic can only go so far!!
I goto a traditional Anglican church,I help muslems in the community,and I goto the Raja Yoga centre as well
God bless you!!
