1
00:00:12,387 --> 00:00:17,356
The bible code, the idea that secret messages and prophecies are hidden in the bible, 

2
00:00:17,356 --> 00:00:19,438
has received much attention.

3
00:00:19,438 --> 00:00:23,021
There are over 45,000 news articles written on the subject. 

4
00:00:23,021 --> 00:00:26,364
Google returns over 16 million web pages.  

5
00:00:26,364 --> 00:00:29,116
It has its own Wikipedia page 

6
00:00:29,116 --> 00:00:32,107
and a number of books have been written on the subject. 

7
00:00:32,107 --> 00:00:35,315
Clearly it must be real, right?  

8
00:00:35,315 --> 00:00:37,898
Why else would they write a sequel.  

9
00:00:37,898 --> 00:00:41,946
Who cares that scientists, mathematicians, and statisticians

10
00:00:41,946 --> 00:00:47,551
dismiss the bible code as worthless, a statistical artifact, a probability illusion.

11
00:00:47,551 --> 00:00:52,470
They're obviously blinded to the truth by all their numbers and equations.

12
00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:56,357
So I decided to see what hidden wisdom I could glean from the bible. 

13
00:00:56,357 --> 00:00:58,540
And here's what I found.

14
00:00:58,540 --> 00:01:01,148
Now if you are looking for predictions of the future, 

15
00:01:01,148 --> 00:01:05,082
I'm sorry to tell you but the words "world end tomorrow" 

16
00:01:05,082 --> 00:01:06,849
appear 2 times in the bible. 

17
00:01:06,849 --> 00:01:09,318
If you're curious how the world will end,

18
00:01:09,318 --> 00:01:11,558
look no further than the bible code. 

19
00:01:11,558 --> 00:01:16,486
The words "fire death star" appear next to "world end tomorrow".  

20
00:01:16,486 --> 00:01:21,650
Curious how the supposedly fictitious death star will destroy the earth.

21
00:01:21,650 --> 00:01:26,062
Well the words "Darth Vader real" appear 22 times.  

22
00:01:26,062 --> 00:01:28,571
So after you finish watching this video, 

23
00:01:28,571 --> 00:01:31,068
go off and enjoy your last day on earth.  

24
00:01:31,068 --> 00:01:33,917
If by chance the world is still here tomorrow, 

25
00:01:33,917 --> 00:01:35,885
come back and leave a comment.

26
00:01:35,885 --> 00:01:41,125
If you feel Barack Obama should not be president, you're not alone.

27
00:01:41,125 --> 00:01:43,162
There are 34 places in the bible 

28
00:01:43,162 --> 00:01:46,195
where the words "obama lost race" appear, 

29
00:01:46,195 --> 00:01:51,881
and there are 252 places where the words "john cain won race" appear. 

30
00:01:51,881 --> 00:01:53,967
What about history?  

31
00:01:53,967 --> 00:01:57,960
There is one location where "south won civil war" appears, 

32
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,358
but surprisingly none where "north won civil war" appears. 

33
00:02:02,358 --> 00:02:03,846
And if that isn't enough, 

34
00:02:03,846 --> 00:02:07,760
there is also a passage were "Nazis won world war" appears.  

35
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,104
I guess it's time to rewrite those history books.

36
00:02:11,104 --> 00:02:15,590
Recently there has been some controversy over Sherri Shepherd's comment 

37
00:02:15,590 --> 00:02:19,972
on the TV show The View implying the world might be flat.

38
00:02:19,972 --> 00:02:22,836
Well what does the bible code have to say about it?  

39
00:02:22,836 --> 00:02:27,260
There are 15 locations where the words "earth flat square" appear, 

40
00:02:27,260 --> 00:02:30,802
but only 2 where "earth solid sphere" appear.  

41
00:02:30,802 --> 00:02:33,242
So I guess we go with majority rule on this one.

42
00:02:33,242 --> 00:02:36,842
Now I know most of you think the sky is blue, but not so fast. 

43
00:02:36,842 --> 00:02:42,608
There are 368 locations where "sky NOT blue" appears,

44
00:02:42,608 --> 00:02:46,230
and 2 where "sky orange green" appear.  

45
00:02:46,230 --> 00:02:49,351
Don't look up, it's clearly a test of your faith.

46
00:02:49,351 --> 00:02:52,614
Remember back in school when you learned about the water cycle.  

47
00:02:52,614 --> 00:02:54,142
Throw that out.  

48
00:02:54,142 --> 00:02:59,158
There are 28 locations where the words "rain is god crying" show up.

49
00:02:59,158 --> 00:03:03,156
And remember learning that the earth is the THIRD planet from the sun.

50
00:03:03,156 --> 00:03:05,347
The bible code knows better. 

51
00:03:05,347 --> 00:03:08,531
"earth second planet from sun" shows up once.  

52
00:03:08,531 --> 00:03:10,707
So move over Venus.

53
00:03:10,707 --> 00:03:14,274
What about those childhood stories that the moon is made of cheese.  

54
00:03:14,274 --> 00:03:17,354
Think that's nonsense, think again. 

55
00:03:17,354 --> 00:03:20,856
Not only is it made of cheese, but swiss cheese at that, 

56
00:03:20,856 --> 00:03:25,219
as the words "moon made swiss cheese" show up in 3 places. 

57
00:03:25,219 --> 00:03:29,090
And have you ever heard a parent tell their child that the crescent moon 

58
00:03:29,090 --> 00:03:33,025
is really god's fingernail.  Well it's true.

59
00:03:33,025 --> 00:03:36,520
"moon gods finger nail" show up 8 times.

60
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,247
So does this mean god's fingernails are made of swiss cheese?

61
00:03:40,247 --> 00:03:41,831
And what about earthquakes.

62
00:03:41,831 --> 00:03:43,542
Ever wonder where they come from. 

63
00:03:43,542 --> 00:03:46,102
No, it's not plate tectonics.  

64
00:03:46,102 --> 00:03:50,918
The bible code tells us that the earth is made of jello, 8 times.  

65
00:03:50,918 --> 00:03:53,308
They're not quakes, just jiggles.

66
00:03:53,308 --> 00:03:56,595
A few years back the movie Jesus Camp was released.  

67
00:03:56,595 --> 00:04:00,284
In it there was a woman screaming that Harry Potter is the Devil.

68
00:04:00,284 --> 00:04:02,588
Most people dismissed her as a lunatic, 

69
00:04:02,588 --> 00:04:06,658
but it turns out the words "harry potter real" show up once. 

70
00:04:06,658 --> 00:04:08,433
Want to know what else are real.  

71
00:04:08,433 --> 00:04:11,913
Well according to the bible code dragons and fairies are, 

72
00:04:11,913 --> 00:04:15,208
as the words "dragon fairy real" show up once. 

73
00:04:15,208 --> 00:04:19,463
Now just to settle a long standing issue regarding two characters 

74
00:04:19,463 --> 00:04:21,718
on the popular children's show Sesame Street,

75
00:04:21,718 --> 00:04:25,077
Bert and Ernie are real and they are not gay.  

76
00:04:25,077 --> 00:04:26,213
Don't believe me.  

77
00:04:26,213 --> 00:04:32,987
The words "bert ernie are real not gay" show up in 644 locations.

78
00:04:32,987 --> 00:04:36,954
The loch ness monster, don't worry, I wouldn't forget this one, 

79
00:04:36,954 --> 00:04:38,907
yup it's real too. 

80
00:04:38,907 --> 00:04:43,925
The words "loch ness monster real" show up in 6 locations.  

81
00:04:43,925 --> 00:04:48,371
So I guess those admittedly faked photos weren't faked after all.

82
00:04:48,371 --> 00:04:51,796
Finally we have a head to head battle between two figures 

83
00:04:51,796 --> 00:04:54,570
vying for the same holiday, jesus and santa.  

84
00:04:54,570 --> 00:04:57,202
And while there are 738 locations 

85
00:04:57,202 --> 00:04:59,705
where the words "jesus real" show up in the bible, 

86
00:04:59,705 --> 00:05:04,055
there are 762 where "santa real" shows up.  

87
00:05:04,055 --> 00:05:06,407
I'll leave you to decide what that means.

88
00:05:06,407 --> 00:05:10,725
Now in the united sates there has been a decades old battle for gay rights.

89
00:05:10,725 --> 00:05:13,566
People have argued that homosexuality is wrong 

90
00:05:13,566 --> 00:05:16,107
because of what it says in the book a Leviticus, 

91
00:05:16,107 --> 00:05:18,084
or maybe it's because they are bigots.

92
00:05:18,084 --> 00:05:20,428
Well that's only one entry.  

93
00:05:20,428 --> 00:05:24,305
According to the bible code there are 119 locations

94
00:05:24,305 --> 00:05:27,185
where the words "gay love god chosen" appear 

95
00:05:27,185 --> 00:05:30,930
and only 2 where "straight love god chosen" appear.  

96
00:05:30,930 --> 00:05:34,239
So it would seem god prefers gays over straights.

97
00:05:34,239 --> 00:05:37,079
What does the bible code have to say about evolution?  

98
00:05:37,079 --> 00:05:41,374
Well, the words "evolution lie" never appear in the bible,

99
00:05:41,374 --> 00:05:44,511
but "gravity lie" appears 3 times, 

100
00:05:44,511 --> 00:05:47,637
and "religion lie" appears six times.    

101
00:05:47,637 --> 00:05:51,681
Creationists have often argued there are certain features on organisms 

102
00:05:51,681 --> 00:05:55,144
that could not evolve, and therefore disprove evolution.

103
00:05:55,144 --> 00:05:57,727
One classic example is the eye.  

104
00:05:57,727 --> 00:06:00,215
Now ignoring the fact that even Darwin

105
00:06:00,215 --> 00:06:04,263
was able to show how the eye evolved over 150 years ago, 

106
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:08,926
the words "the eye DID evolve" appear 4 times in the bible.

107
00:06:08,926 --> 00:06:12,131
There has been a long battle over which methodology is better, 

108
00:06:12,131 --> 00:06:13,754
science or religion.  

109
00:06:13,754 --> 00:06:16,658
Clearly we shouldn't look at the progress science has given us,

110
00:06:16,658 --> 00:06:21,297
DNA screening, treatments for cancer, cell phones, the internet, 

111
00:06:21,297 --> 00:06:23,978
no, we should ask the bible code. 

112
00:06:23,978 --> 00:06:27,388
Well, the words "science real wisdom" appear once.

113
00:06:27,388 --> 00:06:29,203
So I guess that settles that.

114
00:06:29,203 --> 00:06:32,194
And what about the major creationists themselves?  

115
00:06:32,194 --> 00:06:37,376
Kirk Cameron, known for his video series the way of the master, 

116
00:06:37,376 --> 00:06:39,831
is apparently an idiot.  

117
00:06:39,831 --> 00:06:44,920
Michael Behe, the molecular biologist who advocates intelligent design 

118
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,479
but has yet to publish a single shred of evidence supporting his view,

119
00:06:48,479 --> 00:06:50,710
also an idiot.  

120
00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:55,085
Remember that guy who tried to argue that bananas are proof of god's existence.  

121
00:06:55,085 --> 00:06:57,413
Yup, he's an idiot too.  

122
00:06:57,413 --> 00:07:00,909
And what about that guy who tried to argue that jars of peanut butter 

123
00:07:00,909 --> 00:07:03,629
somehow prove that life cannot form naturally. 

124
00:07:03,629 --> 00:07:06,108
You guessed it, also an idiot. 

125
00:07:06,108 --> 00:07:07,724
Finally Ken Ham, 

126
00:07:07,724 --> 00:07:10,914
the head of the creation museum and a member of answers in genesis,

127
00:07:10,914 --> 00:07:15,602
according to the bible code is an idiot, 351 times.  

128
00:07:15,602 --> 00:07:19,240
Who am I to argue with something as powerful as the bible code.

129
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,383
And last November many of us had a sneaking suspicion 

130
00:07:22,383 --> 00:07:25,446
that Sarah Palin wasn't the brightest bulb in the room. 

131
00:07:25,446 --> 00:07:27,742
Yes, she too is an idiot.  

132
00:07:27,742 --> 00:07:30,117
Well according to the bible code at least. 

133
00:07:30,117 --> 00:07:32,588
So what about the proponents of evolution?  

134
00:07:32,588 --> 00:07:36,428
Well the words "Ken Miller truth" show up 6 times 

135
00:07:36,428 --> 00:07:39,746
and "Darwin truth" shows up once.

136
00:07:39,746 --> 00:07:43,761
And what about the age old question, does god exist?

137
00:07:43,761 --> 00:07:46,381
Unfortunately for you believers out there 

138
00:07:46,381 --> 00:07:50,308
the words "god does not exist" show up 8 times.  

139
00:07:50,308 --> 00:07:52,563
And for you bible literalists, 

140
00:07:52,563 --> 00:07:56,395
the words "bible evil lie" also show up 8 times. 

141
00:07:56,395 --> 00:08:01,394
Finally, what does the bible code have to say about the bible code?

142
00:08:01,394 --> 00:08:03,049
Well I'm glad you asked.  

143
00:08:03,049 --> 00:08:10,767
The words "bible code bad lie untrue fake" all show up together once.

144
00:08:10,767 --> 00:08:12,527
But how can this be.  

145
00:08:12,527 --> 00:08:16,149
The people who argue for the bible code seem so convincing.  

146
00:08:16,149 --> 00:08:19,015
And the odds of these words all showing up together

147
00:08:19,015 --> 00:08:21,829
clearly must be extremely small. Right? 

148
00:08:21,829 --> 00:08:24,763
Wrong.  And here's why.

149
00:08:24,763 --> 00:08:28,147
If the odds of winning a lottery are 1 in 1 million

150
00:08:28,147 --> 00:08:30,419
and you only get one chance to play,

151
00:08:30,419 --> 00:08:33,345
your odds of winning are 1 in a million.

152
00:08:33,345 --> 00:08:38,098
But if you get to play 100 times your odds of winning rise to 1 in 10,000.  

153
00:08:38,098 --> 00:08:42,432
If you get to play 1 million times you odds of winning become 63%. 

154
00:08:42,432 --> 00:08:45,024
And if you get to play 10 million times 

155
00:08:45,024 --> 00:08:50,486
you are almost guaranteed to win with 99.995% chance.  

156
00:08:50,486 --> 00:08:54,645
So even if something appears to have a low probability of occurring, 

157
00:08:54,645 --> 00:08:58,987
the more chances you give it, the more likely you are to find it.

158
00:08:58,987 --> 00:09:01,139
The same goes for the bible code.  

159
00:09:01,139 --> 00:09:04,369
There are hundreds if not thousands of word combinations 

160
00:09:04,369 --> 00:09:07,232
that can be used to represent any idea, 

161
00:09:07,232 --> 00:09:11,713
and those words can be found forwards, backwards, or at any spacing,

162
00:09:11,713 --> 00:09:14,999
anywhere in a book that is hundreds of pages long.  

163
00:09:14,999 --> 00:09:18,238
Therefore, the bible code pretty much guarantees

164
00:09:18,238 --> 00:09:21,070
you'll find anything in it. 

165
00:09:21,070 --> 00:09:24,132
So why do so many people still believe in the bible code? 

166
00:09:24,132 --> 00:09:27,380
Well, ignorant people believe anything.

167
00:09:27,380 --> 00:09:30,059
Clearly they don't know how to

168
00:09:39,369 --> 00:09:41,535
Think about it
