The Origin
The great evolutionary geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky once said "nothing
in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution". The widely-read
and influential philosopher Daniel Dennett calls Darwin's theory the greatest
idea ever to occur to a human. And while Darwin rightly deserves this praise
for having laid out the foundations of all modern biology, and for providing
the insight that has threaded together all aspects of our study of life on
Earth, there is more to his great opus than has heretofore been appreciated. It
is with great pleasure that I, a humble evolutionary computer scientist,
present to you the following remarkable findings.
It's thanks to the tremendous publicity surrounding
several bestselling books
on what are called "Torah Codes" or "Bible Codes" that I
have created this article. The books describe hidden codes in the Bible known
as skip codes. To read a word hidden in a skip code, remove all spaces and
punctuation from the text, then begin at the starting letter of the hidden word,
skip ahead n letters to get the next one, then skip ahead by the
same distance again and again to get all the letters in the word. For example:
Original Text:
"..and the short-faced tumbler, and see the wonderful difference in their.."
Remove Spaces & Punctuation, Convert to Upper Case:
"..ANDTHESHORTFACEDTUMBLERANDSEETHEWONDERFULDIFFERENCEINTHEIR.."
Find Hidden Equidistant Letter Sequence:
"..ANDTHESHORTFACEDTUMBLERANDSEETHEWONDERFULDIFFERENCEINTHEIR.."
By displaying the entire text as one large 2D grid of letters, one
can sometimes find several hidden skip code words running through the
text, vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, in close proximity to
one another. While finding a hidden word is interesting, what's more
interesting, and more unlikely, is finding a cluster of related words
in close proximity to each other. What's even more unlikely than that
is having that cluster of related words accurately predict the future!
By hunting for skip codes in the Bible, some have found that many
predictions of future events were secretly encoded in the text. Being
a computer programmer, I wrote my own skip code hunting program and
loaded up the text from Charles Darwin's 6th and final
edition of The Origin of Species (1872) in which he lays out his
theory of evolution by natural selection. Unlike the Bible of course,
the Origin wasn't the word of God, so I didn't really expect to find
anything beyond lucky coincidence. Once I got the program up and running,
however, the results were truly mind-blowing.
One of the very first hidden codes I discovered was centered around the
word "DARWIN", shown in the example above. There are two words,
encoded horizontally and in reverse, just above "DARWIN" - "GREAT"
and "SEER" (see image below). Still thinking this was just a lucky
coincidence, I searched in the vicinity of these words to see what else I
might find. To my astonishment, I found "BOOK", "HIDES", "FATE", "SKIP",
and "CODES". The rectangle which encloses all of these words is
only 19 by 72 characters, and comprises barely more than a tenth of one
percent of the entire grid (the whole text is 1,009,229 characters in length).
Clearly, there are too many related words here, and they are too close
together for random chance to be a satisfactory explanation. I was on to
something.
Great , Seer , Darwin , Book , Hides , Fate , Skip , Codes [19x72]
After this tantalizing find, I began to search in earnest for more
skip code word clusters. Cluster after cluster kept popping up, each
containing accurate forecasts of the future - related words located
together in close proximity. One such cluster is shown below - a
prediction of the 1933 Reichstag fire, which was the result of arson,
and which was a key event in the build-up to the second world war.
Reichstag , Fire , Burn , Arson , Three , Three , WWII , Death [42x34]
Seven hidden words, each related to this historic event, and all of
them crammed into a tiny rectangle that's barely a fraction of the
entire text. This was too good to be true. As I kept searching, more
and more fantastic clusters emerged. The assassination of Yitzhak
Rabin by Yigal Amir in Tel Aviv, one of the famous predictions found
in the Bible codes, was also here in the Origin codes... twice!
Amir , Assassin , Rabin , Dead , Mid , East [24x23]
Yigal , Amir , Assassin , Rabin , Tel , Aviv , Middle , East [32x97]
Many of the events predicted in the clusters were scientific milestones or discoveries.
I suppose this isn't that surprising given the nature of Darwin and his work.
The table below lists all my findings, each an event that took place long after the
publication of Darwin's book. Click the predictions to see the actual word clusters.
These results are nothing less than phenomenal. Although the close-minded skeptics will
no doubt balk at the notion, as skeptics are prone to doing, I think the implications
here are too obvious to bother stating. I have faith that this will finally put an end
to the continued religious opposition to the theory of evolution by a great many
fundamentalist believers.
