Mathematical claims of 'Bible Codes'...is there any truth in the maths?
January 7, 2009 at 12:02 pm (This post was last modified: January 7, 2009 at 1:40 pm by CoxRox.)
I eagerly bought Michael Drosnin's book 'The Bible Code' back in the 90s and promptly dumped it when I discovered that these 'codes' were naturally occuring sequences that you can find in any book. Well, in searching the net for links to help me with the claim of mathematical platonism, I came across this article: ''Mathematics bombshell: God 'confirmed in Bible' ''

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/articl...E_ID=41892

I was rather bemused as I thought the codes stuff was old debunked codswallop. This Edwin Sherman guy being a mathematician, got me interested. Has anyone checked his claims out? I've found this website which I'll check out.

Any mathematicians amoung us who know about mathematical probability etc, your opinions would be most appreciated.
