There has been much discussion and, unfortunately, misinformation
disseminated regarding ELSs (Equidistant Letter Sequences) in the Torah. As
a researcher and presenter of the Torah codes, I want to set the record
straight on a couple of matters.
1) A rigorous, controlled experiment looking for statistically significant
codes was performed on the Book of Genesis. The results were published in a
top journal of Statistics, Statistical Science in August 1994. (Volume 9,
issue 3). The editor of the journal, Robert Kass from Carnegie-Mellon,
describes the results as "highly significant". To date, not a single error
has been found, nor has any scientific critique been leveled at the
reasearch, despite the fact that the journal goes to practically every
major university with a statistics department around the world.
2) At present the only book that has been published with the consent of the
researchers is a book in Hebrew called "Meimad Hanosaf" (The Extra
Dimension), by Doron Witztum, the leading researcher in the field. He is
presently wroking on a book in English with many dramatic examples of codes
findings as well as a thorough description of the methodology.
