A Conversation for The Bible Code
You can't prove they exist

God is very, very, very clever. If you believe in God, and that God wrote the codes into the hebrew version of the bible then you shouldn't be able to prove it.
All miracles CAN be explained by science. That's the point. There is not a single miracle that occurs throughout the bible that can NOT be explained by science. And that allows those who choose to believe in god to believe in god, and those who don't not to do so.
In Douglas Adam's Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy, god disappears in a puff of smoke because the existence of the babel fish proves that god exists: (quote from H2G2):
The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "Ihadn't thought of that," and promptly disappears in a puff of logic.
In real life, statistically the bible codes may or may not be significant. And the bible codes do not exactly predict the future because if they did so it would prove that god exists and therefore doesn't.
So the bottom line is: if you choose to believe that the bible codes exist, then they exist
