*Launches nuclear warhead*......boom boom there goes our little comet problem, carry on.
..Btw, id like to see some quotes from the bible that predicted the terrorist attacks, and the assination of Kennedy.

They keep replaying this "The Bible Code" special on the History Channel, so if you want to see all of the predictions in the code, watch it - they show you the code.
But really if you think about it, the code is so incredibly long there's bound be coincidences like the part where the guy found "Al Gore", "almost win", "2000", or something like that. But they were not next to each other... a few pages apart with thousands of other words in between and they just assume those words are supposed to go together when in reality they don't know which words are supposed to go with which. There's so many words in there you could find anything you want in there if you had the time to search through it.

I think this bible code is just hyped-up coincidences...
I bet that i could find lots of "secret codes" in any, say, Tom Clancy book [because they have a lot of words]. Interesting stuff, though.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

Everything can be easily misstranslated into what the translator wants or thinks it might be. For all we know one of the sentences that say "Extinction by periodic comet showers 2012" could actually say "2012 bugs hit car windshields causing the species to go extinct." What if this code does not actually predict the future? What if its actually the very first word search in the world? Games have to start somewhere. After the 9/11 attacks, there were rumors/e-mails going around that said an ancient Greek philospher predicted this to happen. It actually turned out not be true, due to someone making up random crap. This can easily be true here by misstranslating the actual text for something else.

This Bible code thing was just made by some nutty guy who wanted to get 15 minutes of fame. He took out a peice of paper that had Hebrew written all over it, pick out letters that made "Kennedy, Terror, etc." and then "concluded" that...
"The Bible has predicted everything that has happend in the world."
Even I beleive in God and the Bible, but I don't beleive in this "Bible Code". :rolleyes:

Given enough time, any of those things will happen. History repeats itself.

I read the book The Bible Code by Michael Drosnin. One thing I did find interesting is that the same code was run against other large works of literature, like Gone with the Wind, and the “predicted” events weren’t listed. It also states that the Code doesn't predict the Future, it merely reveals one possible future. It’s intriguing, that is for sure.

The Probrability Of this being bull shit: 1 out of 5.3 million | Skeptic Scientists |
When the authors used a randomization test to see how rarely the patterns they found might arise by chance alone they obtained a highly significant result, with the probability p=0.000016. Our referees were baffled: their prior beliefs made them think the Book of Genesis could not possibly contain meaningful references to modern-day individuals, yet when the authors carried out additional analyses and checks the effect persisted.
That is, the probability of getting the results they did was 16 out of one million or 1 out of 62,500. The authors state: "Randomization analysis shows that the effect is significant at the level of 0.00002 [and] the proximity of ELS's with related meanings in the Book of Genesis is not due to chance." Harold Gans, a former cryptologist at the US Defense Department, replicated the work of the Israeli team and agreed with their conclusion. Witztum later claimed that, according to one measure, the probability of getting these results by chance is 1 in 4 million. He has apparently changed his mind and now claims that the probability p = 0.00000019 (1 out of 5.3 million).
As further evidence of the statistical significance of their results, the Israeli team analyzed the Hebrew version of the Book of Isaiah and the first 78,064 characters of a Hebrew translation of Tolstoy's War and Peace. They found many names in close proximity to birth or death dates, but the results were statistically insignificant. (The book of Genesis used in their study, the Koren version, has 78,064 characters.)

I find this all interesting. I kind of have read some of Nostradamus (sp) stuff, but never researched into it enough to find a decent translation. Im kind of curious as to what they predict happens from lets say tomorrow.....till "2012". Surely some of this may be true, but surely some of it may be not. I guess well find out in 2012......when I own you all! MWAHAAHA :twisted:
