Can you change the bible code? I mean, say you got ahold of the Israeli leader and broke his leg a la Tonya Harding the day before his death. Then, he doesn't get assasinated. Then, the code is no longer correct? The universe implodes and ceases to exist?

No, god would kill him to make himself right, since he can't be wrong.

the only code in the bible is encoded horseshit which is essentially the same as the non encoded version

So in layman's terms, how exactly is this accomplished? Is some mathmatic algorithm used to select Hebrew characters that relate somehow? I read the link but didn't really understand where the matrix fit in (been awhile since I've done that kind of math) and how it was all mathmatically significant and not contrived. (Not flaming, just curious :))

They start at an arbitrary letter, then make a long string separated into columns by adding on every n-th letter, then search in every direction for something that looks like a name or date, then try to find something that could relate to that in the general area of the original found name or date.

They also only show up in one specific version of the bible, and only in the book of Genesis.The findings are random, coincidences occur.

But if it's in one book of the Bible that's even more odd. I mean what is the coincidence that SOOO MANY things are written in there. It's kinda crazy, and it all follows a pattern...

Using highly scientific techniques, I have deciphered the prophecy hidden in this ancient block of text!

The prophecy declares that you are stupid, it must be true!!!

Well...one of those links also said that some other terrorist act was going to happen on Dec 25 of last year OR Dec 15 of this one.

Since I don't REMEMBER anything catastophic last Christmas, I'll have to keep my eyes open this year.

Note: I am highly skeptical of the OR involved here. Is this exact or what?

Bible code..... what bunch of crap.

That is as bad as that stupid fool that was trying to convince everyone that in the book of Revelation wormwood = Chernobyl in Russian.

Deluded fools will believe anything.

They don't spell it out, smart guy. It's an idea. Like flying machine or something. Jeez. So literal!

If anyone has read the book, it's worth pointing out that the experiment has been repeated using the text of 'Moby Dick'.

Similar associated words are found when the text is analysed in the same way as in 'The Bible Code'.

I just stay out of it so I don't have to worry about it. I don't know the specifics. If it's true, fine. If it's false, fine. It doesn't change my life so I just don't worry about it.

Ah, another stimulating discussion about one of the best fiction novels ever to grace the earth. Kudos to the author, whereever he is. Tough to track the guy down for interviews these days.

have they tried it on any others? Id like to see if some the books i own can do this.

Face it people, its basically a mathitmatical equation set up to get words that you want out of it. If it were true, we could prevent EVERY bad thing that occurs, or at the very least reduce the amount of damage inflicted.
