That it is! My understanding is they hunt for these codes obviously post
event using all sorts of character offset formulae. None of the so called codes I have seen are of the same formula, so it becomes rather obvious that
anyone can sit there and find what they want with a computer to do the work.
The ludicrousness of the belief is that God would supposedly plant them in there for some unknown reason, for surely it can't be for us to see it in
print so we could gasp at his might, considering he planted enough people to claim the end is coming, the end is coming, everytime some incident or
death happens. Yet, at the same time, these same believers spout the Revelation nonsense and proclaim, no one will know how or when the world will
end, but they have us believe God for some bizarre reason encoded the book with his future plans for us to see after the fact. I suppose some lucky
duck will find the event that ended the world and roam around Heaven bragging; see, it was in there.
They have found nothing to predict future events mind you, but a hurricane happens and they can find hurricane in some book, yet they cannot plug in
the same term and come up with a future event.
