Bible Codes, Discuss.

this stuff is fun.. i like cryptography.

You know in school when you do cross word puzzles, and you're looking for a certain word, and you always end up finding words that aren't on the list. That's kinda what this is.

But were they put there? Probably not, if they wanted us to know the future they would have said "OMFG COMET HITTING THE EARTH, YEAR = 2012"

But they Mayans came out and said the "Earth Calendar" ends 2012.

Well, that is what made me a little less skeptical about this, because of the mayan calendar, and the whole 2012 prediction from the codes.

I watch a documentary thing about Bible codes on History channel, kind of hard to keep up with these guys, but supposively they've found like volumes of this shit and our futures. But it doesn't make sense.

You must be watching a different one then, because the two I watched were pretty well organized. They did go a bit fast, but it wasn't hard to keep up or anything.

Probably the same program, D3v is just naturally stupid.

i don't believe they are signifigant, but they are hard for me to ignore because i find cryptography interesting.

Again, you're implying that they are insignificant, yet they are cryptography. If these are encrypted codes, then their was some comical, genius prophet who embedded these codes in the translated version of Drosnin's Torah. If not, then this is simply data mining, and therefore can not be considered cryptography. Which do you believe?

I don't think any of us know enough about the subject to come up w. a relevant answer.

Well, if by relevant answer, you mean definite answer, then you're correct in your assertion. Nobody here knows enough about the Bible codes to give definite answers. But really, in that case, we don't know enough about anything to give a relevant answer on any subject. If this were the case, that would defeat the whole purpose of the thread. I don't think KA wanted definite answers, just what people thought about the Bible codes.

On the other hand, though, the whole concept is pretty simple. I'm not a mathematician, but it's not hard to see that all this is data mining. We do know enough to make logical guesses about the Bible code.
