Kode Alkitab: Perbedaan antara revisi

Diskusi dan kontroversi kontemporer sekitar suatu metode penemuan kode Alkitab muncul dan mulai menyebar pada tahun 1994 ketika [[Doron Witztum]], [[Eliyahu Rips]] dan [[Yoav Rosenberg]] mempublikasikan suatu makalah berjudul "Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis" ("Urutan-urutan huruf berjarak sama pada Kitab Kejadian") pada jurnal ilmiah ''[[Statistical Science]]''.<ref name="WRR">{{cite journal | author = Doron Witztum, Eliyahu Rips, Yoav Rosenberg | title = Equidistant letter sequences in the Book of Genesis | journal = Statistical Science | volume = 9 | year = 1994 | issue = 3 | pages = 429–438 | doi = 10.1214/ss/1177010393}}</ref> Makalah yang dipresentasikan oleh jurnal itu sebagai suatu "teka-teki yang menantang" ("''challenging puzzle''") menampilkan bukti [[stastistikstatistik]] kuat bahwa informasi riwayat hidup sejumlah [[rabbi]] Yahudi terkenal ternyata tersembunyi dalam teks [[Kitab Kejadian]], yang ditulis berabad-abad sebelum rabbi-rabbi tersebut hidup.<ref name="WRR"/>

AnotherContoh example of anlain alleged prediction coded in the text of the Bible, which is also attributed to Rabbi [[Chaim Michael Dov Weissmandl]] (who was mentioned above),<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.torahone.com/docs/TorahCodes.htm |title=I am statistically significant |publisher=torahone.com |accessdate=October 6, 2010}}</ref> concerns the hanging of 10 Nazi leaders on October 16, 1946 following the [[Nuremberg Trials]]. Rabbi Weissmandl claimed that this event was predicted by the Biblical story about the hanging of the 10 sons of [[Haman (Bible)|Haman]], also as a final consequence of a (failed) genocidal plan against the Jews. The "coded" aspect of his speculation is that in the [[Masoretic text]] of the Bible, three letters within the list of Haman's sons are marked as small letters:<ref>[http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view_page.jsp?artid=860&letter=S&pid=1 "Small and Large Letters"] in the: [[Jewish Encyclopedia]], Funk and Wagnalls, New York 1901–1906. Volume 11, p. 411-412.</ref> the tav {{hebrew|ת}} of Parshandatha, the shin {{hebrew|ש}} of Parmashtha and the zayin {{hebrew|ז}} of Vajezatha. Rabbi Weissmandl pointed out that if you combine the three small letters together they form the word {{hebrew|תשז}}, which in the accepted Hebrew notation for year numbers (using [[Gematria]]) corresponds to the Jewish year [5]707 [[Anno Mundi]],<ref>Using the Jewish method of recording years, the number 707 can represent the year 5707, this is the "minor era" system of notation of the [[Jewish Calendar#Epoch|Jewish year]]. For example, Webster's New World Hebrew Dictionary states: "In practice . . . the thousands are skipped and the Jewish year is referred to by quoting, in Jewish numerical symbols, the figure from the hundreds down" (p. xxiv, Introduction, The Jewish Calendar). See also [[chronogram]].</ref> which is the Jewish year that the 10 Nazi leaders were executed (October 16, 1946 corresponds to Tishrei 21, 5707, the day known as ''Hoshanna Rabba,'' the day of severe judgments for the nations of the world, according to the Jewish calendar).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hebcal.com/converter/ |title=Hebrew Date Converter |publisher=hebcal.com |accessdate=October 6, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://calendarhome.com/converter/ |title=Calendar Converter |publisher=calendarhome.com |accessdate=October 6, 2010| archiveurl= http://web.archive.org/web/20100927100957/http://calendarhome.com/converter/| archivedate= September 27, 2010 | deadurl= no}}</ref> Many people criticize various aspects of this speculation.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.talkreason.org/articles/Purim.cfm |title=Purim 1946?

Also they point out that the proponents only mention the similarities between the cases, but ignore the many differences. More in general they point out that this is not exactly an ''a priori'' prediction, but rather a [[postdiction]], and therefore the statistical significance of it, if there is any at all, cannot be reliably calculated.
