The God Code: The Secret of Our Past, the Promise of Our Future

Which brings me to perhaps the most troubling aspect of the Bible Codes, which is the nature of the religion they “prove.” Just as the Bible Codes myth relativizes the nonrelative, so it absolutizes the nonabsolute. If the Bible Codes are correct, then the Torah is unlike every other document on the face of the earth, and contains secret prophecies embedded within it that were intended to be discovered only now, in our age of computer science. This means that the Torah is absolutely supernatural, while the New Testament, Quran and Upanishads are not. And that means, in turn, that the Jews really are the chosen people in the unreconstructed sense: We alone possess Divine revelation, and the Torah is absolutely it.

One intriguing source of patterns that has emerged thanks to our development of computers is the Bible. Among humanity’s oldest and arguably most influential pieces of writing, the Bible has been studied and analyzed phrase by phrase by countless scholars and devotees. But what computers have allowed us to do, thanks to the work of Israeli mathematicians, is to see that the ancient text may be not only an intricately-weaved collection of spiritual stories and teachings but a code that speaks to the inner workings of history. When God tells Moses that YHVH will be His name forever, the word is spelled differently - without the traditional "vav" in the centre. This is considered to indicate there is something hidden. (p122) In the book’s foreword, Dr. Eugene Ulrich, chief editor of the Biblical Dead Sea Scrolls and professor of Hebrew Scripture and Theology at University of Notre Dame, writes, “However one wishes to interpret the meaning and significance of the text, they may rest assured that the text on which Timothy Smith based his interpretations has almost certainly been there for a very long time, since before the birth of Christ.” But when faith uses science to justify itself, it undermines itself as well. Surely religious consciousness does not lie on the same axis as scientific proof. When the Earth was discovered to revolve around the sun, the church reacted with bans and inquisitions. Eventually, however, most people made their peace; the enduring lessons of kindness, generosity and holiness do not depend on astronomy.

In Case You Missed It

Since then the term "Bible codes" has been popularly used to refer specifically to information encrypted via this ELS method. J. Scott Duvall, J. Daniel Hays, 2012, Grasping God's Word: A Hands-On Approach to Reading, Interpreting, and Applying the Bible, p. 337. "The scholarly rebuttals to Bible codes have been devastating. These rebuttals have provided strong evidence that there is nothing mystical or divine about ELS. The arguments leveled against this method of finding secret messages fall into two basic categories: that relating to probability, and that relating to textual variations ... Textual variations: Another flaw in the ELS approach is that its proponents seem unaware of variations in the text of the Old Testament ..."

Since 2000, physicist Nathan Jacobi, an agnostic Jew, and engineer Moshe Aharon Shak, an orthodox Jew, claim to have discovered hundreds of examples of lengthy, extended ELSs. [21] The number of extended ELSs at various lengths is compared with those expected from a non-encoded text, as determined by a formula from Markov chain theory. [22] Criticism [ edit ] The "great rabbis experiment" went through several iterations, and was eventually published in 1994, in the peer-reviewed journal Statistical Science. The editorial board was highly skeptical due to the fact that computers can be used to "mine" data for patterns that intuitively seem surprising, but upon careful analysis are found not be statistically significant. While they did find a number of possible sources of error, they were unable to find anyone willing to put in the substantial time and energy required to properly reanalyze all data. However, they did find it intriguing, and therefore decided to offer it as a "challenging puzzle" for anyone interested in doing so. An unintended result of this was that outsiders mistook this as a confirmation of the paper's claims. [13] Other experiments [ edit ] The comment about the exact number of people around the world will be treated on the point number 10. Brilliant and insightful—I urge all of you to embrace the message of The God Code. I see Gregg Braden as one of our great visionaries.” The aim of this false probability is support the assumption that YHVG (the allegedly Hebraic letters for 'humanity'), are an equivalent for hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon. But following the Cabbala's method proposed by Braden, there are not 22 letters playing this game, but ten: "probability" is dropped dramatically, even more when we know that it is not possible repeat any letter and that the position of these letters is irrelevant. The equivalence element-number is based on the atomic mass, for he considers it "of the 17 characteristics that define [the elements:] only one matches precisely with the hidden number values of the Hebrew language" (p. 112). There are no more reasons for taking into account the atomic mass apart precisely that this is the only what matches. But even this is not true: the atomic mass for hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon are 1.0, 14.0, 15.9, and 12.0, respectively. 14 is transformed in 5 (1+4), 12 is transformed in 3 (1+2), 1.0 is transformed in 10 (no reason for that, apart that 1 doesn't match Braden's theory) and 15.9 is transformed first in 15 (not in 16, as expected) and then in 6 (1+5). This should be enough to dismount the main purpose for the book. The name of the humanity is a combination of four elements, like, for instance, B-N-O-C or Zr-S-Sm-K. There are actually hundreds of those possible combinations, but not the Braden's one.

Gregg Braden is a rare blend of scientist, visionary, and scholar, with the ability to speak to our minds while touching the wisdom of our hearts.” In some cases, multiple terms may be derived from an 'ELS letter array' (text in a grid, with the same number of letters in each line). In the example provided, part of the King James Version's rendering of Genesis (26:5–10) is shown with 21 letters per line, showing ELSs for "Bible" and "code". [4] Then God exists because 95% of humans believe in it. This is the starting point of the book: we already know that God exists, and we are trying to demonstrate how It exists, not whether It exists or not. Yet even today, there are those who insist that demonstrably false views about the age of the earth, the evolution of human beings or the nature of human sexuality are somehow still correct. As if the cohesion of their religious communities and the coherence of their religious ideologies are somehow dependent on which way the science comes out. Would it not be wiser, following generations of philosophers, to differentiate between the zones of the scientific and the religious? Leave science to the scientists, and reserve for the religious crucially important domains of the ethical and the spiritual. We should not turn to science for values — that’s what brought us eugenics and social Darwinism — and we should not turn to religion for facts.Find what you are looking for". biblecodedigest.com.
