Whether you like it or not, that's how science works.
Can you name one single scientific result that has become established simply by going unnoticed?
See message 87
Thank you, that may well be what I'm looking for.
That is true, as one can see, by just reading the the paper.
If you have read the paper, and continue to recite this falsehood, then you are a deliberate liar.
Have you gone completely mad that you think flawed papers are published in peer reviewed scientific journals??
That would be madness?
Very well --- according to you, was the paper by McKay et al, which was published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, indeed the same peer-reviewed scientific journal (a) flawed (b) not flawed?

Great Is Truth, And Shall Slip Under The Radar
"What you have now said," rejoined the father, "would require to be modified a little. Pay attention now, while I explain our method, and you will observe the progress of a new opinion, from its birth to its maturity. First, the grave doctor who invented it exhibits it to the world, casting it abroad like seed, that it may take root. In this state it is very feeble; it requires time gradually to ripen. This accounts for Diana, who has introduced a great many of these opinions, saying: 'I advance this opinion; but as it is new, I give it time to come to maturity- relinquo tempori maturandum.' Thus in a few years it becomes insensibly consolidated; and, after a considerable time, it is sanctioned by the tacit approbation of the Church, according to the grand maxim of Father Bauny, 'that if an opinion has been advanced by some casuist, and has not been impugned by the Church, it is a sign that she approves of it.' And, in fact, on this principle he authenticates one of his own principles in his sixth treatise, p. 312."
"Indeed, father! " cried I, "why, on this principle the Church would approve of all the abuses which she tolerates, and all the errors in all the books which she does not censure!"

This happens quite often. You also previously referenced conference abstracts as if these were 'peer reviewed literature', demonstrating that you haven't the slightest clue what you are talking about.
Bs'd
You think that would happen with an extremely controversial article, which has been reviewed for six years, and for which the wolds best experts are consulted?

It all boils down to this: Can anybody point out a fatal flaw in all of the six papers presented at the 2006 ICPR, each presenting a different approach and a different code?
If not, then for all intent and purposes, the Torah codes have been scientifically proven, and the debate is over.

What papers?

Some more about the upcoming festival of Purim, the Esther story:
we read there that Haman, the evil one who wanted to murder all the Jews, was defeated, and his ten sons were killed: "5 The Jews struck down all their enemies with the sword, killing and destroying them, and they did what they pleased to those who hated them. 6 In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men. 7 They also killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, 8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, 9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai and Vaizatha, 10 the ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews."
Esther 9.
And then there came a curious request of queen Esther. The king allowed her to make a wish: "The king said to Queen Esther, In the citadel of Susa the Jews have killed five hundred people and also the ten sons of Haman. What have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? Now what is your petition? It shall be granted you. And what further is your request? It shall be fulfilled. 13 Esther said, If it pleases the king, let the Jews who are in Susa be allowed tomorrow also to do according to this day’s edict, and let the ten sons of Haman be hanged on the gallows." Ibid
So the dead sons of Haman were hanged on the gallows. What was the use of that? They were dead already, they couldn't make them more dead than dead. But anyway, there they were hanging, and the Jews were saved from the mass murder that Haman had in mind for them.
This fortunate turn of events is being celebrated every year with the purim feast, as prescribed in the book of Esther: "Mordecai recorded these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far, 21 enjoining them that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar and also the fifteenth day of the same month, year by year, 22 as the days on which the Jews gained relief from their enemies, and as the month that had been turned for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, days for sending gifts of food to one another and presents to the poor. 23 So the Jews adopted as a custom what they had begun to do, as Mordecai had written to them." Ibid
The names of the ten sons of the evil Haman who were hanged, are mentioned in the Esther scroll: 6 In the citadel of Susa the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred people. 7 They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, 8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, 9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, Vaizatha, 10 the ten sons of Haman Ibid
In the Esther scroll these ten names of the sons of Haman, are written one underneath the other, on the right side, and on the left side is written and, see here:
What we notice here, is that three letters are written smaller than the rest. This is done for thousands of years, and nobody knows why. We see that in the first name, the one but last letter, a tav, is smaller than the rest. In the seventh name we see that the fourth letter, (from the right) a shin, is written small, And in the last name, the third letter, a zayin, is written small.
Also we notice, that the first letter of the last name, a waav, is written bigger than usual.
Like I said, why that is is not known, it is just a matter of tradition, like That's the way we do it, and that's it.
The interesting part is, that every Hebrew letter has a numerical value. For instance, that small tav has a value of 400, the small shin a value of 300, and the small zayin a value of 7, making together 707.
And there is the big waav, with a numerical value of 6.
These numbers can be read as a date. The 707 pointing to years, the big waav pointing to the sixth millennium in which we live right now, giving us the year 5707. In the Christian counting of the years that year would start in 1946. And it just happened to be so, that in that year were the Neurenberger trials of nazi war criminals. Twelve of them were convicted to death by hanging. One they didn't have. Another one, Goering, in the night before his hanging, he swallowed a poison capsule, and he escaped the gallows. So on the date of 21 Tishrei 5707, ten nazi war criminals, Jew-murderers, were hanged.
When Julius Streicher was led upon the scaffold, he said: Now I'm going to God!
And Newsweek magazine of 28 Okt 1946 said archive.ph that just before the trapdoor to eternity opened up underneath his feet, he called out: Purim fest 1946!
Isn't that interesting?

Not at all. I didn't even read it. Everyone who isn't a dishonest Jew knows that the "Bible Code" stuff is all a bunch of bullshit.
You just like it because you want to prop up your faith. Unbiased readers realize its a load of crap.

Can you enlighten us as to what that gibberish is supposed to mean?
While you're thinking that one over, can you find us a similarly impressive 9/11 "prediction" in the Torah?

If there were any flaws in it, it would never have been published in a peer reviewed journal to begin with.
This idea of yours is wrong and no one familiar with the scientific method would maintain such a position. Peer review does not establish the accuracy of the paper. Peer review means only that there is sufficient analysis for the paper to be of interest to others in the field. You are aware that the paper was rejected by another journal during peer review, right?
The true test of a scientific paper is in the testing and replication of results by others in the field. The paper should provide enough data to do that and enough analysis to check the author's work.
Otherwise we could say that Pons papers on Cold Fusion established that he was correct about the subject.
In this particular case, we have the quoted remarks of one of the peer reviewers who stated explicitly the nature of his review, and his final conclusion that the paper was bunk.
Are we to believe that whoever publishes last is correct? Are we to believe that the 1999 peer reviewed paper debunking WRR's paper is of lesser quality than the 1994 paper.
Your reasoning is hogwash. There are published, peer reviewed and otherwise critiques of WRR's paper. The correct way to decide who is correct is to analyze the papers and not to simply date them or look at who has gotten in the last word.
I understand that the indirect methods you use for evaluating the papers is the only possibility for you since you refuse to even speak to the actual arguments made by either side. Well, sorry, but just because you are doing the best you can does not mean your efforts are good enough.

That's your opinion.
This is the scientific viewpoint:
According to scientific rules, in order for critics to disprove the Torah codes, they would have to find fatal flaws in each of the six papers presenting a different approach and a different code. This happened five years ago, and to date not a single flaw was found in any of these papers. Therefore, for all intent and purposes, the Torah codes have been scientifically proven, and the debate is over.

Well, this certainly didn't come from any knowledgeable scientist, science text or philosophy of science. Sounds like it came from a religionist with his back against the wall and getting his teeth kicked in (metaphorically speaking) because of some inane argument that has been thoroughly destroyed going on two decades now. Reminds me of your attempt to mark punctuated equilibrium as the death knell of evolution. Silly man.
Nothing is ever proven in science. Only in religion can you be absolutely certain something is proven with little evidence, weak evidence or no evidence at all. This has been one of the hallmarks of religion for millennia.
The problem with those papers you keep citing is that, just like creation science, they are done by a small cadre of true believers publishing over and over and for whom no amount of reality will suffice. And if you read the damn things they are not "proofs" of anything, but different techniques to manipulate the data. Frankly, it really doesn't matter what gun and bullets you used when you go and paint your bullseyes around the bullet holes.
You are right about one thing. The debate is over ... has been over for more than 20 years. Your bible codes are shown to be bunk and always have been bunk.
Just like with Gould and Eldredge you were wrong again. It's time for you to go find the next thing you can be wrong about.
