<i>Basically the code breakers are saying that the Bible (in this case the Hebrew version of Torah) contains the entire history of of civilization from start to future finish.
The critics say that any large book subjected to the same process can provide the same answers and so Moby Dick did provide such answers. Therefore the whole Bible thing is a hogwash.</i>
Yes. The fact that <b>any</b> text of a similar length can be used to generate the same kinds of "predictions" tells very strongly against the Bible code having any validity whatsoever. The fact is that if I programmed my computer to generate a text the same length of the bible, but with totally random letters, the bible code "decryption" method would find just as many predictions in my text as Drosnin did in the Bible.
<i>1. Can all the major historical events be found in such code breaking process and why? - that is statistically significant?</i>
No. And neither can ALL historical events be found in the Bible. On the other hand, if you go looking for a <b>particular</b> event in many different ways, you're almost sure to find it.
<i>3. Did the code breakers in the cold war or wwII, did really break codes or killed a lot of innocent people by this phony process of decoding that can produce anything one seeks?</i>
There is a very important difference here. The codes in WWII actually <b>did</b> have encrypted messages. They were <b>meant</b> to say what the decoders said they said. You can compare the original, uncoded, messages with the coded ones in many cases, and the decoded results match the originals.
There was only one way to correctly decode German ENIGMA messages, for example. Any other method would give gibberish, or only part of the message would make sense. On the other hand, Drosin's method "decodes" only a tiny fraction of the information in the bible, which suggests that there is no code actually there at all. In fact, there's only one way to make sense of all the information in the bible, and that's to read it in the language it was written.
