This is research done by highly respected mathmeticians and statisticians. They tore the "Bible Codes" claim to shreds, exposed the weak methodology, found the same codes in many books, as well as finding nonsensical codes throughout the Bible ("The code is false" and many others.) and in short, completely debunked the theory. Not only that they proved it to be just what it was: an exercise in finding a result you want to be there. If you want to base your religious beliefs on lies and fake results from con men I guess that's up to you. I fail to see where "Bible Codes" can be found to be more edifying than the normal text people have been using for centuries, and used by people more knowlegable and pious than you or I.

NO, THEY DID

*NOT* AT ALL SHRED THE CODES.

Their 'research' and pontifications have been shown to be, essentially, hogwash.

Not only so, their methods and practices in the way they handled the topic and in the way they publicized their biases about the topic are quite equal with the charlatan methodologies and publicity practices of all kinds of shady characters. It was really a dispicable display of the religion of science hostile to the supernatural.

I'd be ashamed to defend them or refer to them as experts of any kind.
