Torah Codes This is a stab in the back for all atheists.

[Lois]

 The entire Torah is completely encrypted, and people are searching for these codes using computers. A pioneer in this field was mathematics professor Eliyahu Rips, who lived in Israel. Dr. Rips was a leading expert in mathematics, and he mathematically proved that the probability of a random coincidence approaches zero. This is a stab in the back for all atheists.

Deja vu

 

 

Quote

0n September 1, 1994, I flew to Israel and met in Jerusalem with a close friend of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, the poet Chaim Guri. I gave him a letter which he immediately gave to the Prime Minister.

"An Israeli mathematician has discovered a hidden code in the Bible that appears to reveal the details of events that took place thousands of years after the Bible was written," my letter to Rabin stated.

Stabbed in the back , eh ? 

 

'back at you' Lois ; 

 

Eliyahu Rips,;   and colleagues published a controversial 1994 paper in Statistical Science showing names of rabbis appearing near their birth/death dates in Genesis, suggesting divine intelligence. While initially supported by figures like Nobel laureate Robert Aumann, Rips' findings faced significant criticism for methodological flaws and potential statistical anomalies, leading many to dismiss them, though the topic remains popular in certain circles. 

 

 

Key Aspects of Rips' Work:

• The Method: Rips and his team arranged the letters of Genesis into a grid and searched for patterns where letters forming words (like names or dates) appeared at fixed intervals (skip lengths), forward, backward, or diagonally.
• The "Famous Rabbis Experiment": Their most cited experiment claimed to find statistically significant proximity between names of famous rabbis and their birth/death dates within Genesis, suggesting pre-ordained information.
• Publication & Controversy: The 1994 paper, "Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis," was presented as a puzzle by the journal but sparked intense debate, with critics like Brendan McKay highlighting flaws.
• Public Reception: Rips' work inspired Michael Drosnin's popular book, The Bible Code, but Rips later distanced himself from Drosnin's sensational interpretations.
• Skepticism & Criticism: Critics argued that Rips' results could occur randomly in any sufficiently long text, and independent tests often failed to replicate the findings, leading to eventual withdrawal of support from some, including Aumann.

I have a Torah code search program. Would you like to try it?
