The idea that divinely encrypted messages lay hidden within the pages of the Bible has been entertained for centuries. The thought it’s self is believed to have been explored by scholars as early as Isaac Newton, who was said to have thought, “the universe was a cryptogram set by the almighty”.
The Bible code is a theory based upon an ELS, Equidistant Letter Sequence, a process of choosing a starting letter in any text and skipping the same amount of letters each time to reveal hidden words.
Throughout the years, scholars have discovered many different sequences within the pages of the Bible among which were said to reveal the rise of Hitler and other prominent figures. However, their creditability warranted a close second glance after several similar attempts with other literately works. A few years ago, a university professor attempted to achieve similar results in the famed novel Moby Dick. There he found many notable events from the death of Martin Luther King, presidents Kennedy and Lincoln along with Princess Diana and many others making many question if the Bible code held any legitimate accuracy at all.
After many similar findings among novel after novel and paper after paper, it proves even more that the credibility of the Bible code has many major flaws. It seems as though “codes” can be formed from almost any text long enough to be sequenced. In fact, many argue that ELS is a phenomenon that can be achieved on even the simplest cereal box.
