  The Bible (or Torah) Code - Skeptic's Dictionary
The Bible Code is the title of a book by Michael Drosnin in which he claims that there is a code embedded in the Bible by God.
He claims in The Bible Code (1997) that decoding the Bible leads to the discovery of prophecies and profound truths of a secular nature, not all of which are related to the Jews.
Drosnin's work on the Codes, nor the conclusions he derives....All attempts to extract messages from Torah codes, or to make predictions based on them, are futile and are of no value.

 Bible Code Probabilities
At least two leading Bible Code programs (the versions I have checked) have opposite probabilities at short text skips (also in the matrix), we can therefore get text probabilities that are tenths of thousands of times too small.
There are different versions of the Torah and there are spelling differences (Genesis alone had between 3 and 43 for a number of versions, when compared in Statistical Science in 1999 to the Koren version).
But if there is a code it probably has a pretty limited number of encodings, it is hard to retain the story and use many letter changes to add terms (and starting with many code letters it is hard to form the desired story).

 APPENDIX C & D
The Torah code hypothesis is completely consistent with a condition that the number and kind of ELSs are exactly what would be expected by chance.
The Torah code hypothesis states that the placement of the ELSs in the Torah text is skewed in such a way that there is a higher frequency of ELSs of related key words that appear closer together than expected by chance.
So basically, what Ingermanson has done is to restate the Torah code hypothesis in a way that is not equivalent to the true Torah code hypothesis, and then he provided evidence that his restatement of the Torah code hypothesis must be false.
