Eh .... I don't think it's true. 2000 was the big year for the end of the world - and we all know how that turned out. Come 2013 life will go on as normal.
Honestly NASA would know if there was any chance of us coming into contact with an asteroid/comet. I remember awhile back there was a semi-big deal about an asteroid which had a 1/*some huge number* chance of hitting us in 40 years or so. They then plotted its course and realized it will miss us - they'd certainly know about something in 2012.
I believe in God and the Bible, but I think the bible code is bullshit.

Okay, I believe in God, the Bible, Apocrypha, and the Book of Enoch. I beliceve the writings were written by men who were moved by the holy spirit. But I don't believe in this "Bible code."
And if the world ends in 2012, so be it. All I know is I'll be outta here by the time the world ends, whether it's in 10 years, 100 or 100 years, or even tommorow or tonight. I'll be joined with my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ . 
God is the "0wnage". Plain and Simple.

I don't know enough to believe in this "Bible Code" stuff. It sounds really cool, and as far as I know it could exist. If it does it's probably not critically important that everyone knoes it. Otherwise it would not be hidden.

This is just a different version of the saying "An infinite amount of monkeys writing on an infinite amount of typewriters for an infinite amount of time will produce Shakespeares collected writings"
Remember that the Bible is a hell (no pun intended) of a large book. Of course "coincidences" are bound to happen.

The Probrability Of this being bull shit: 1 out of 5.3 million
Most of you take the side of which is most probrable, remeber the meteror in 2014 topic? u all said that it was not going to hit but when we talk about something with over 5.3 million going for this u still say it is not posible. I dont get that. This is a very high differential. 1/5,3000,000. Ok here lets try something im guessing a number between one and 5.3 million. Guess it and this topic is bull shit guess the wrong number and its true. Good luck.
Here is some data from where i got the numbers out of.
| 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.)
