: 1.The book states that codes were found in the book of Genesis by

: of the experiment provided extremely strong statistical evidence for
: the existence of the encoding of great Jewish sages' names and dates
: of birth and death in the Hebrew text of the book of Genesis. This is
: all true.

: 3. The book states that I also performed a new experiment, using the
: same methodology of Witztum and Rips, in which I found that the sages'
: names were also encoded in Genesis with their respective cities of
: birth and death. The statistical results obtained were even stronger
: than that obtained for the first experiment. This is all true.


: 5. The book states that the codes in the Torah can be used to predict
: future events. This is absolutely unfounded. There is no scientific or
: mathematical basis for such a statement, and the reasoning used to
: come to such a conclusion in the book is logically flawed.

	On the contrary. I suggest that there is a very close relationship
between finding statistically relevant information and being able to
predict the future.

	Say the father of number 20 on the list of sages had had a
computer and searched for his son's name. And found the name, and the
city. What is your basis for saying that this is not significant? Or #21?
Or #22? Or #23?
