Intelligent Design and Bible Codes

I have read the book. It is hard for me to discard the information. There is compelling evidence.It is fascinating. However, I will not ascribe any value to this. It could be a rare coincidence or it may be real. I do not know. But, the evidence is compelling.

I have never heard this till now. I must state that you are wrong. Famous historians and archeologists have provided all the evidence to demonstrate that all the events, places, and people described in the Bible were real. They were contemporary historians who were not even believers. They are even finding evidence for Noah's ark. Did you know that there were predictions in the old testament written several hundreds of years before the events occured. There are 66 prophecies concerning the birth, life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. They all came true later.I know a Scientist from the defence who wanted an award so, asked the statistician to "Retromanufcture RAW DATA".He did. I do not know if he ever got any award. I am now challenging you to examine all the evidence before you jump to any conclusion.Here is something else for you. Sanskrit is considered to a one of the oldest languages. 5000 years ago, A Great sacrifice with 13 characteristics was described in Sanskrit. You will be surprised that Hindus have 330 million Gods. None of them fulfilled these. On the other hand, they were all perfectly fulfilled through Jesus Christ who came 3000 years later. Is this arare coincidence or real prediction?Yes, I have read the Book, "Bible Code". It is a fascinating book. Examining all the information, one is compelled to believe the work.Though it is very compelling and convincing, I am not giving too much of emphasis to this. Whatever will happen will happen. Well, the book sold very well. The author must have made lot of money.

Can you show us who debunked and how it was done? Thank you.

Dr. Dembski is a very well established Molecular biologist. No one can question his credentials. He happens to be a christian. Everything he has written makes lot of sense. Being a Biochemist myself, I am able to appreciate all that he writes. He cannot be challenged at all. If anyone claimed to have debunked Dr. Dembski, he may not know anything at all. I would recommend the following books to those who think about debunking.Darwin on Trial, Darwin'w black Box and Reason(Dr.Philip Johnson) If after having read all these, if anyone will still consider debunking, then something is wrong.

Ifen, do not get me wrong. I strongly believe in the Bible. All my belief is based on Bible as it is the word of God. As far as the Bible code is concerned, it is very compelling. Do not get carried away by what anyone says or writes. May God give you the power to discern right from Wrong and I am sure you will make it. Do not feel lost in this forum. This is an excellent place to sharpen our ideas. However, you know that not eveyone in this forum is a bible believing christian. Besides, Jews do not believe in Torah either. God knows what they believe. As Paul writes to Timothy, I say that you seek God for wisdom and stand firm on your faith and belief.People have believed in prophecies and they even sold their properties to wait for the Lord to appear. I hope you will not do this. Whatever will happen will happen.

(this should have been nipped when it started back at post 16 --- nipped now) AdminNosyBy whom? I got mixed up with Dembski and Behe. Have you looked at the tiny red blood cell even in a light microscope? I guess not. It is a small marvellous factory in itself. The iron pigment hemoblobin can complex with oxygen and then release the gas to the tisues. Besides this, it also carries very useful metabolites like glucose to very critical parts of the body like brain. No one can question his concept "IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY" if that person is a biologist. You see this everywhere. When you say he was debunked, you need to give specific grounds why he was debunked and by whom. He is a good biochemist and he has very good credentials. To get any paper published in the Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences is not a joke. But, it is a great accomplishment.This message has been edited by AdminNosy, 02-27-2006 04:47 PM
