Well, the date has come and gone, and suprise, he didn’t take down the page. Instead we’re blessed with this little evasive gem:

“IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT NASA USED ‘DEEP IMPACT’
TO SHATTER OR RE-DIRECT THIS COMET THREAT AND
AND SOMETIME IN JUNE OR LATER, NASA WILL ANNOUNCE
THAT BACK IN MARCH 2010 THEY ‘SHATTERED A COMET
IN DEEP SPACE THAT POSED NO THREAT TO EARTH’. ”

Sure buddy, whatever helps you avoid the phrase “I was wrong.”

Walther is a publicity hog… and the Bible code is very iffy at best. I am a believer in Christ and this guy just twists everything up so don’t look to him for anything much except confusion. He presents some solid truths but they are mixed with a great deal of error. Also, he often does not rightly divide the Word of Truth (the KJB Scriptures)to exegete the Scriptures properly. For example, he uses the true Word (KJB) when it suits him, but diverts to tainted Bible versions that say something else…. again, when it suits his doctrines. Case in point, the Word rightly says in Rev. 13:16 that the final mark is placed IN the right hand or forehead, denoting an implant. Walther uses a Bible version that says ‘on’ the right hand or forehead to justify his ramblings about a tattoo material being mixed with an RFID chip. Too much speculation. So he quotes from whatever Bible version matches his predictions and opinions, but has no Biblically sound theological system. And he calls Sherry Shriner nuts? He is too reliant on the alleged ‘Bible Code’ and exhibits a lot of Biblical ignorance….this man’s got one strange ministry. Better to just talk to the blessed Christ yourself and buy a King James Bible and ask Him to help you interpret it!

Jon Brooks: Some physicists posit there are 10 to the 528th parallel universes co-existing next to ours in ‘branes’. This means that almost all possibilities you can think of have a probability equal to approx. ‘one”.

Not really. It’s trivial to come up with easily-realizable scenarios that have probabilities far lower than 1 in 10^528.

For example, when Parker Brothers sold their 70th anniversary Monopoly set, they claimed to have sold 750 million copies of that game. Let’s say that everybody who bought a set rolled the dice once. What are the odds that every single die showed a six?

Roughly one in 10^1,167,000,000.

If my figures are way off and only half the people who bought a game ever rolled the dice ever played, that’s okay; double-six lets you roll again, so we can assume each player rolled the dice twice.

Of course, the tricky thing is that any dice roll of that magnitude has the same odds. But it ought to show the ridiculousness of thinking that if enough potential for trials exists, every single possibility — no matter how far-fetched — must come to pass.

(Of course, this kind of logic might cause Intelligent Design advocates to think that die rolls are designed… which, come to think of it, might explain why I never get Boardwalk. All this time, I’ve been playing with cheaters. )

@55. mike burkhart Says:

There’s a witches version of the Bible?! Neat!

Sorry but can’t resist pointing that typo out.

@ 53. EnglerP: THX. I hadn’t seen those before.

@ 56. AbuMaia Says:

@Mike: supposedly the Bible code isn’t based on any of the translations, but on the “original” Hebrew texts.

I thought Jesus spoke Aramaic? (& possibly Hebrew & Greek or Latin too?)

I guess that means the “Bible” code is really just a “Torah (OT) Code?”

Either way both Torah & “the” Bible include versions of old Sumerian-Babylonian & Canaanite legends and fuse them with a mish-mash of early Jewish mythology and then later messianic Christianity so to think “one mind” put the thing together complete with a comprehensive set of secret codes is .. well more silly than I’m allowed to say here.

Dang. I’m sick of this state. I was hoping for a spiffy reason to pack my bags and leave this place. Once again, Phil, you leave me with no nifty doomsday events to look forward to.

Death by comet/asteroid/etc would be so cool.

#56 @AbuMania
I don’t know Hebrew, but I understand it was often written without puntuation (and vowels ?).
This might make such codes easier to create … I mean find

I resisted the link the first time I read this article, but I fell for it today.
My brain didn’t come as close to exploding as on some of the antivax sites, but … WTF ?

Therefore the alternate Utah in one of those branes, will be hit on March 1st. In another it will be February 28th, in yet another it will be March 2nd and so on, in fact there will be millons or billions of Utah’s hit that day in millions and billions of branes. Somewhere I feel a stirring in the force.

@Mike: supposedly the Bible code isn’t based on any of the translations, but on the “original” Hebrew texts. From what I understand, they look at the Bible texts in Hebrew, and do a kind of “word search” game on it to find what they’re looking for, then translate it back into English.

Phill right the Bible code is nonsense it is just the latest in a long line of claims of “hiden mesages” in the Bible. the list of these claims is endless and the methoid is flawed one problem is witch version of the Bible did they use this code on? The King James version is diferent then the Catholic version I use in wording and in books and parts of books witch are in the Catholic version and not in the KJV version dose this code work on all versions dose it say the same things if used on all versions? I’ll bet it dose’nt
