Michael Shermer Decodes the Bible Code

[@dannykrinkle4726]

Is Michael Shermer encoded in this video? Because I can't find him anywhere.

[@verynuggable]

You have to believe he's there to see him. Also, turn off the video and turn on one with him in. That's the key to decoding a hidden Shermer.

[@martinm6368]

Of course Michael Schermer can be found here. Simply download the video, read it backwards as an ASCII file, shift the letters by 8 and search for his name in the resulting text. You'll find all his dirty secrets exposed in vague messages.

[@franklinholt8054]

He's hidden, duh

[@rwhirsch]

i love that the rabbi uses "cockamamie" for the code just after he says that god gave them the torah. ridiculous

[@magaroam]

The number of the sequence itself is relevant as well. Once you begin to compound the relevancy and layers of improbability, that paints a different picture entirely than their analogy. Also, I like how with the Moby Dick comparison that they found a word encoded and then used it like a crossword puzzle for a fully developed word already written in the regular script. It shows that they did not use the equal distant letter sequence entirely on its own but rather wrapped other methods unto one another in order to produce the likeness of the Bible code. Once again, everything else is held up to the comparison and universal standard of truth of God’s word. All comparisons perpetually fall short of proving anything other than the glory of God.

[@uncleanunicorn4571]

"Believers don't need a rational explanation," That pretty much says it all.

[@RascaldeesV2]

Nnnnnnnope

[@OkopokoKiller]

The cause of the Big Bang doesn’t have a rational explanation..

[@Ezek18-32]

That's what I call "biased reporting"

[@AIXITstageleft]

But the rational stuff can help us believers to put a seed in a non-believers heart where then faith can grow. I have strong faith, yet I'm always searching for more information that will help me bring save more people.

[@shanb331]

I believe many writings have "spirits" so to speak, behind them, esp classic literature. But is any as comprehensive as the Bible? Their data is vague.

[@buckbeak1965]

When I see the codes in other books, I just see that God has his hand in every form of life. When he says that you have no excuse for rejecting him. This just proves it more>>> I love it give God the glory!!

[@rationalmartian]

Good one god. Way to communicate with people plainly and unambiguously. Strange though how we had to wait till WE invented computers to find out. Man. Some folk will believe anything.

[@adrianmeyer2157]

Also how god (knew?) the English language was to evolve to translate into what we can interpret haha

[@jlinney5519]

The Bible has what we need for salvation and direction in this life in about any translation. We don't need the codes and prophecies to find Jesus because he reveals himslef. You can laugh at this if you havnt experienced it but I had my very curved and painful spine straighten out in an Instant when I was prayed for and I've encountered the holy spirit on too many occasions to list. Again I totally would laugh at someone saying this if it hadn't happened to me. I don't go big on the bible codes that Computers find but simple bible codes like every 49 letters in the ancient hebrew at the start of each book spell outs the word "Torah" then the name of Jesus. You can't do that in any other book. Most rabbis do not believe in Jesus so they will have biased videos like this where they just look at the codes you can defame rather Than an over all unbiased look at many that you cannot replicate or explain away. Yes I'm Sure using computers we can find things that allude to all kinds of past events in other books but the Torah codes are much more complex when looked at as a whole.

[@historychannel123]

GOD KNOWS ALL THINGS !

[@bossoholic]

@TheTrevor2525 Na, its cool. I was just saying that there can be a 150 day flood when the rain only happens for 40 days and nights. When you fill up a pool, the water hose is on for, say 4 hrs--but that pool can stay filled for years (an extreme example)

[@RonJohn63]

The emotionally charged background music of this kind of show always fascinates me.

[@padwanplayer]

Is there anything in the codes that talk about blu-ray dvd players? I'm thinking of buying one, but how long will the technology last?

[@soulsurvivor182_9]

This joke was 15 years ago, and it’s only grown funnier with age. Bravo to your past self

[@NealVisher]

If the uni-verse 'is' holographic perhaps we are finding the holographicity itself, weaved throughout all of reality. Too cool. Thanks Michael.

[@appliedcommonsense4735]

do you refute Dr Ivan Panin’s findings too? Pi & the Golden Ratio or Gen 5 names translated into English has interesting ‘prophecy ‘ secret?

[@gusmatchain7299]

Where the fuck is Michael Shermer in this video?

[@tracy121171]

I am looking for a modern Bible Code software program. Can you help? Thanks in advance

[@CarolAnnNapolitano]

If I was God I wouldn't need to hide things in a book, why hide it?

[@qhsperson]

+Carol Napolitano For the same reason the Easter Bunny hides eggs. I thought everyone knew that.

[@Gitfiddle]

That is the smarts question of all the comments here. Why does god test our faith? Does he want some or most of us to fail? Is this all just a sick game for god to play with his little sheep? What loving god does these sorts of things? This is not the action of a loving god. This is the action of a sycophant. This is the action of a sadist.

[@claytonhenrickson9326]

You don’t even believe that if god let us know he was real we’d be mindless drones because the old test Jews had proof, the disciples knew, satan knew and the angels knew and they all made free will choices to follow or not. You make comments like this because you have to forget what you know to explain what you see in reality.

[@claytonhenrickson9326]

Sounds like you haven’t read the Old Testament or know the narrative but in the Bible god used to be obvious as fuck. Pilar of fire, crazy miracles, giant clouds with his voice booming and even passing tests to show he was real. All that sounds like the Jews had proof god was real, at least in the biblical narrative.

[@apollovskiapollovski8756]

If you were God, you'll know many reasons why you have to hide it.

[@vmaldia]

whats the PC oprating system at around 1:22? Looks like old school win 3.1 to me

[@philstephes]

That's Windows 98

[@pedroamaralcouto]

Windows 3.1 doesn't have a task bar.

[@eam07]

Thank GOODNESS for Michael Shermer! A true beacon of light in this crazy demon-haunted world.

[@willmpet]

Since there are no (as in NO) originals how do they think they can find messages?

[@proslice56]

Believers! confirmation bias much!

[@judyvalencia3257]

Who narrated this video? It sounds so much like the actor Mitch Pleggie? I’m sure I didn’t spell his name right, but he came out in The X Files and Star Gate-Atlantis.

[@erusstv]

This is kind of like when conspiracy theorists look for illuminati clues in cartoons.

[@jonnyeh]

It's also easier to find codes in the Hebrew Bible because Hebrew has no vowels. This means that a mishmash of random Hebrew letters is more likely to result in meaningful words than a similar grouping of English letters. A better test would be to try to find codes in the Hebrew version of Moby Dick.

[@2335467]

I can't believe even today that people are gullible enough to believe in this crap!!!!! LOL

[@AZlance66]

HEY! Is that voice Assistant Director Skinner?

[@GetMotivated978]

Who's the bese bible code decoder software and where can i get it from free? Please help me...I have the CodeFInder but i don't know how to work with it...

[@AH900112]

intresting, do you have more? where did you find this?

[@JPO1618]

"If the science was good then I would have accepted it; but the science is bad so there is nothing to discuss." Perfect Summation

[@mediamactv]

exactly which part of their paper does your detector not find factual?

[@adkinsjr]

did you watch the clip at all?

[@VeritasLuxMea100]

Notice all of these "predictions" are found after the fact. When/if you can find predictions in the text of things that have not occurred yet and are later found to come true, THEN you may be on to something. What good is it to find predictions about things that have already occurred?

[@dangerouslytalented]

when you put it that way, it all makes perfect sense.

[@SilencingTheMachine]

Of course! Your comment has gotten me to change my entire outlook on life and has made me a believer! Thank GOD for brilliant commenters like yourself.

[@midareashi]

So what predictions does it make that haven't already been fulfilled?

[@user-lu7je6hd3g]

Thanks for showing interest. I posted a short video called Metatrons Cube and the Bible which is jut a teaser. The video just touches some of my studies, but I am working on a new vid which will get deeper into it. I believe this would mathematically boost the bible to be a significant study for all scientists, making even athiests question their faith. So, I'm working on it:) It'll be up soon. I believe that the path to the answer of origin is in mathematics.

[@user-lu7je6hd3g]

What if it had geometrical significance? Would that change your way of thinking?

[@FsimulatorX]

@fromstart2finish so what do you think and it is not a story story or farytale

[@brendafedi891]

Is there not some reference to the fall of the Catholic Church too??

[@phoenicianbloodline2088]

What’s the app is ❓

[@avitimushi1541]

I just love the believer's defense: "if the science was good, we will have something to discuss"

[@avitimushi1541]

...yes he dismisses the claims based on flawed knowledge derived from his belief...

[@hankterreros223]

Thank you sir, may I have another?

[@tomp2008]

so where's Shermer

[@Claudg2008]

My English is obviously uncertain, cause up to now I thought that the title "Michael Shermer decodes..." would mean Michael Shermer should be somewhere (at least saying "hi" at the end of the video). I was wrong. It meant something else that escapes me. Too deep for me.

[@coltaylor1945]

holy shit ive just de-coded a new passage from the bible it reads "this book is purely fictional all charaters are also fictional and any similaritys with any person living or dead is completely coincidental"

[@comiconline]

Does anyone who is doing the narration on this? It sounds like Mitch Pileggi (Assistant Director Walter Skinner on the X-Files). By the way, why does this video have Michael Shermer's name in it? He's not even in the video!

[@MsCasualvlogger]

To sum up Dr. Simon's last statement: his belief or faith depends upon science.... is that faith?

[@LeoLeeGaming]

Just noticed that the peanut butter man is in here! "According to evolution, once in a while, not every time, but once in a while, we should find life inside a peanut butter jar." That guy hahahaha.

[@0mnislash79]

They should try this on Dr Seuss books and it will say that Jim Carrey was casted before there was even a script for the grinch.

[@squinookle555]

can sum1 explain to me how it all works please?

[@PastorMcPherson]

I am a minister of a Christian Church and I believe the Bible code to be an extension of strange "mystical" thinking. I believe instead of looking in the Bible for strange, secret codes, to instead read the Bible itself.

[@pamdodd1]

Amen! Or whatever the comparable non-theistic word is. Our human brains are pattern seeking through and through. Since we invented language, it also has patterns, whether they are immediately visible or not.

[@stevenvh17]

Where's Shermer in this?

[@mediamactv]

How do you know? How would it have been measured? There was no such thing as a 24 hour day given the fact that there was no measuring stick as we know it. What text within this passage tells you it was a 24-hour day. Maybe you can draw from other text in the bible that tells us how long this day might have been.

[@thesacredcowtipper]

I would have to say that I believe in some of them while I believe some are just statistical anomalies or just aren’t astounding enough to use as proof of their existence. BUT, and this is a big but - some of the codes are so long and crammed in such small areas of scripture that it goes beyond statistical probability or happenstance.

[@sacredcowtipper1378]

@Paddy le Blanc why? did you ever hear of Bible Numerics? That is a whole other subject. Bible Numerics is a 100-fold what the Bible Codes or ELS EquiDistance Letter Sequence is.

[@Wadlyyardshark]

"When relevant words cluster" is a strong argument for formula for the Bible Code. But take this work to the next level. Apply CALDWELL'S CUBE to it and see what it reveals. This will enable you to view the scripture in 3 dimensions instead of just 2. If what I'm talking about escapes you please visit CALDWELL'S CUBE parts 1 & 2 here on youtube. There might be more "Clusters of relevant words" in hiding the scriptures this way than we've found just examining it in 2 dimensions. .

[@taz0k2]

How can this video get any rating higher than 1?

Where is Michael Shermer debunking?

[@Rissoleking]

"aren't you passionate about these particular issues? Seems apparent that you are..." Sure. "Prove it..." We don't know everything about neuropsychology yet, but we can prod people in certain parts of their brain and have their personalities change drastically.

[@homerilias]

The main message is, that it is not the way god talks to us. He's not making a quiz out of it. He's not placing a mathematical genius before all the other people. When he exists he speaks to us by the things he does. And that's the clearest language, even an animal understands.

[@guyverdio]

oh yay the same old guy who held up a jar of peanut butter and asked why there wasn't any life in it. He's a great comedian.

[@robertochahin]

Technically its similar to Data Mining. If you get a large amount of any data and look for a particular pattern in it with a computer, given enough computing you have a good chance of finding a spurious result that matches your expectations. Although in Data Mining you look for patterns, in this bible code you look for phrases in the text by trying out different patterns until you find what you wanted to find. Enough Iterations and you get prophecy. Belief at any cost.

[@GideonWells]

I saw one believer justify it as being done intentionally because it contains prophecies meant today. The prophecies we find for past events that couldn't be discovered till now were just included so we can scientifically do hind-sight prophecy tests to prove the code as real. *shrugs*

[@arandaspis112]

The best argument for the Bible code that I see is that Michael Drosnin found a message in the Bible code which told that a man ( Yitzak ) would die a few years later, and he did ( 0:28 ). I don't think that the chance of a man with just the right name and died (and in the predicted year) just as the Bible code said would be not be very good if it not was put there by an intelligence. The code at 4:59 has a larger probability to be put there by chance because it is not giving any specific year.

[@bettySwollox]

How many more words have been found, just by sheer random selection by the software that is ignored? I bet there is a ton of gibberish that they don't include in the publications.

[@RascaldeesV2]

I am a man of science and a man of God. Say what you will about it and I've probably already heard it before. Religion and science are two branches of the same tree. Science helps us to understand the universe God has created for us. Science is a way for us to explore and learn and become closer to God, not further from him. There is no reason science and religion cannot coexist. Do not attack my faith. I will do likewise.

[@lmb2150]

A bigger problem not addressed is that the search for codes that predict events was done after those events. If the bible truly was embedded with such codes, they should be found before the event, and accurately predict the event. post hoc ergo Propter hoc is a fallacy

Has the software for bible code ever been used on the devil's bible? If not that would be a great idea. I am sure there is plenty of coded messages in that bible.

[@osuushiza8]

Why would the bible have "hidden" codes? Why would specific ppl, places, & things be predestined to specific events? How do you decode a bible or any messages anyhow? I treid to search it on google, but it confused me.

@QuakePhil im not a firm believer either way i am still looking at it, but i do think some of the mathmatical equations used is pretty interesting to turn up some of these results

@lifeseeker51 Again it depends on how you define "faith," as to whether or not I agree with you on that. I'm curious what knowledge you think anybody has gained purely through faith and how do you know they gained it through faith? And even if they did gain it through faith alone, how would you know which faith it was? I see a lot of assertions but no evidence or logical arguments to back them up.

[@jacopman]

I'll bet many of us where that way with faith as so many come to faith at a younger age. It is much like a relationship.......when we are young we are over enthusiastic and make unrealistic expectations out of a relationship..........as we mature we grow into a more fuller understanding of a relationship that includes life experience and critical thinking of those things that did not justify our expectations when we were younger.

Also, it's funny how we don't find these predictions until AFTER the event happens... almost like your brain is just finding patterns according to what it already knows, like it's built to do...

Bible code?

[@SeenAndNotSeen]

0:45- It's the peanut butter creationist! Considering that the letters can be any number of spaces apart, and the fact that Hebrew has no written vowel sounds, it's simple to find "messages." The word "PRS" for instance: A WWII-related code would be "Paris." But what about: "Price","purse","pores","pours","peers","piers","pyres", "press","peruse","pursue","pears","pairs","priss","prays", "preys","porous"? There is so much flexibility that the "code words" can say just about anything.
