Are you suggesting that Moses knew Bill Clinton would be president and that the Kennedys would be assassinated? Yet it's in there in Hebrew. For the record, they used the text from the original scrolls and the Dead Sea scrolls, which were identical to the letter.

Here's what the book says:
The original experiment that proved the existence of the Bible Code was published in the scholarly journal, Statistical Science, a review journal of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (vol.9, no.3) in August 1994, pp. 429-438.

The journal editor, Robert E. Krass of Carnegie Mellon University stated in a prefatory note:"Our referees were baffled: their prior beliefs made them think the Book of Genesis could not possible contain meaningful references to modern-day individuals, yet when the authors carried out additional analyses and checks, the effects persisited.

In the years since the Rips-Witztum-Rosenberg paper was published, no one has submitted a rebuttal to the math journal.


If you're so sure man created it the code, read the book and submit a scientific rebuttal that would be acceptable to the Institute.
