They Exist - That Is All Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Looking at commentary of erudite scholars
always superior to anyone else, being a gift
to mankind, I raise my unenlightened voice
to say what Bible Code claims mean to me,
the smallest bookworm that has ever been:

Such a code confirms the spiritual assertion
the Energy forming the universe is conscious,
intelligent, well-meaning and life-sustaining -
all examples of time-spanning non-sensory
communication such as these Bible Codes

Enlarge the spectrum of possibilities posited
by quantum physics, it is a joy to the thinking,
dreaming, feeling mind to find ever-widening
spirals of alternatives to the little bit of world
confirmed painstakingly by human scientists

As long as we remain free to study anything
the imagination can envision without bending
to the authority of science and religion alike,
without forcing anybody to pay homage to
us, the way science and religion compel

People to subscribe to their subjective theories;
we shall be all-right, as long as we reject claims
of other people's non-sensory experience and
only believe in what we individually live and feel,
we shall become independent thinkers - and

Dream up a separate world for each one of us,
unique, subjective and individual; no-one allowed
to proselytise - only to sing their own song while
followers are simply told to go find or make their
own way…

A scientist can only find proof of something, the
public is free to ascribe meaning to it; nobody
should be compelled to agree with anyone else,
everybody is free to make up their own story
and live it

As long as they respect the right of their
neighbours to do the same…

A. Public Statement by Harold Gans, Senior Cryptologic
Mathematician, U.S. Department of defense, retired
Independent Mathematical Consultant:

"I have reviewed the book 'The Bible Code' by M. Drosnin.
1. The book states codes were found in Genesis by Doron Witztum
and Eliyahu Rips. An experiment using scientific protocols specified
by independent reviewers provided strong statistical evidence of
Jewish sages' names and birth & death dates encoded in the
Hebrew text of Genesis. This is all true.

2. The statement that Torah codes can predict future events is
unfounded. There is no scientific or mathematical basis for such
a statement. Some historical events are encoded in Genesis in
certain configurations, it is not true that similar configuration of
'encoded' words represent a potential historical event.
Mr. Drosnin states his 'prediction' of Prime Minister Rabin's
assasination is 'proof' that 'Bible Code' can be used to pre-
dict the future. A single or several "successful' predictions
prove nothing unless made and evaluated under controlled
conditions.

3. I conclude the ONLY information derived from codes in
Genesis is that THEY EXIST and the probability to be
mere coincidence is vanishingly small."
