Does anybody believe in all that Bible Code crap, or do you all acknowledge that it's nothing more than fun with numbers?

Originally posted by ColettiYes. It was terrible; I am taught by working mathematicians and know a few of them quite well -- to portray practitioners of an entire field of study in that way was pandering to silly perceptions. The presentation of mathematics was silly too. The only things that saved the film were the character of Saul, the playing of Go and Clint Mansell's contributions to the soundtrack.

I heard Hebrew used letters to represent numbers. But that's true of Greek also.
Did anyone see the move Pi?
