I just hopped over to that site to take a peek, to see what all the fuss was about.

Er, wait ... the author of this piece thinks that the fantasy "global flood" actually happened? That piece of absurdity on its own is enough to warrant tossing this supernaturalist puff piece into the bin. Only a total fuckwit thinks that the floating petting zoo and its 600 year old drunken captain were anything other than fictional constructs. Plus, the assertion by this author, that the mythology in question is a piece of "supernatural engineering", is laughable in the face of the numerous documented contradictions and absurdities embedded within it. Leviticus alone contains enough Pythonesque humour to satisfy even the most ardently demanding of fans of the ridiculous, it's a limitless gold mine for anyone whose taste gravitates toward the comedy of the absurd. The classic example is provided by Leviticus 13, which in my copy of the NIV is headed "Regulations Concerning Infectious Skin Diseases", and which is an absolute fucking hoot if you imagine the text being read out in the manner of one of the lead actors of The Life of Brian. Weirdly enough (though once again, I suspect the usual supernaturalist anti-consilience is at work here) this online rendering of the text is in parts substantively different from my actual print copy of the NIV, but I suspect the humour aspect I've just described will be similarly noticeable by the reasonably astute. I'll spare myself the effort of typing out from my print version to make the point, because I've better things to do with my time, but I suspect anyone obtaining a print copy will alight upon the same text that I did, and discover the requisite hilarity.

Oh, dear. It's the "Bible code" drivel once again.

Except that, oops, there exists a mathematical proof, of what can be called, for want of a better phrase, the Substring Extraction Theorem (henceforth, SET for short). Which states that any desired message (substring) can be extracted from any sufficiently lengthy body of text by an appropriate search algorithm, a direct consequence of what is known in statistics as the "Look Elsewhere Effect", in which an apparently statistically significant observation may actually have arisen by chance, simply because the parameter space being searched is enormous in size. A brief introduction to this matter can be read here (PDF document), followed by a more complete exposition available here (PDF document).

Indeed, the Wikipedia page on this subject cites some interesting experiments that have been performed applying equidistant letter sequence extraction to a range of texts, viz (emphases mine):

Skeptic Dave Thomas claimed to find other examples in many texts. While Thomas' methodology was alleged to have been refuted by Robert Haralick[59] and others, Thomas's criticisms were aimed at Drosnin, whose methodology was actually far worse. (In fact, Drosnin's example of "Clinton" in his first book violated the basic Bible Code concept of "Minimality"; Drosnin's "Clinton" was a completely invalid "code"). In addition, McKay claimed that Drosnin had used the flexibility of Hebrew orthography to his advantage, freely mixing classic (no vowels, Y and W strictly consonant) and modern (Y and W used to indicate i and u vowels) modes, as well as variances in spelling of K and T, to reach the desired meaning. In his television series John Safran vs God, Australian television personality John Safran and McKay again demonstrated the "tuning" technique, demonstrating that these techniques could produce "evidence" of the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York in the lyrics of Vanilla Ice's repertoire. Additionally, "coded" references in non-Torah Bible texts, as for instance the famous Number of the Beast, do not use the Bible code technique. And, the influence and consequences of scribal errors (e.g., misspellings, additions, deletions, misreadings, ...) are hard to account for in the context of a Bible coded message left secretly in the text. McKay and others claim that in the absence of an objective measure of quality and an objective way to select test subjects, it is not possible positively to determine whether any particular observation is significant or not. For that reason, most of the serious effort of the skeptics has been focused on the scientific claims of Witztum, Rips and Gans.

The fact that Ancient Hebrew was written without vowels (these were inferred from context), means additionally that mainpulation of texts written in Ancient Hebrew to produce a desired end, is easier than is the case for a language such as English, in which all letters are explicitly written.

Meanwhile, enjoy the hilarity arising from apparent "prediction" of the assassination of Martin Luther King, extracted from Moby Dick, and indeed, this page hilariously presents a number of assassinations purportedly "foretold" by equidistant letter sequences in Moby Dick. Indeed, from the first of these links, we read this interesting passage (emphasis mine):

This curious anecdotal discovery is one of several that were made a few decades ago by the Slovakian Rabbi Weissmandel. Apparently, no similar discoveries were made until the 1980s, when some people realized they could search the Torah for meaningful ELSs much more effectively with the aid of computers. Computers allowed reliable counts of skips much larger than 50 -- 500, 1000, 5000, etc., thereby expanding the scope of the search beyond ordinary human capacity.

So, in order to find some of these "coded messages", it was necessary to use computers to investigate ELS skip sizes that were far beyond the error-free reach of typical human beings. Furthermore, the technique has been demonstrated to be capable, via the SET, of extracting any desired message from a sufficiently large body of text. Example demonstrations include extracting purported "hidden messages" from the Hong Kong telephone directory.

So the idea that there's anything special here is, quite simply, wrong. Because, thanks to the SET, it's possible for me, if I exert the effort, to feed into a computer the entire text of the NIV, and have a computer search report that it's found such phrases in the text as "this book is lying", "Yahweh is made up shit", and "AJ777 is gay". If you can find references to the assassination of Martin Luther King in Moby Dick, then, as the SET proof demonstrates, quite literally anything goes. Oh, but isn't that what happens in the world of supernaturalism anyway?
