Biblical Hebrew Forum

I am not against discussing the Bible Code on B-hebrew. I think it is 
supposed to be a kind of religious miracle, so saying it is nonsense without 
giving any reason could be considered saying it is wrong only for religious 
reasons. If you say that the letters are different in different manuscripts, 
then you are arguing using evidence and not just religious reasons to oppose 
it.
 
Jack Kilmon said that scholars who search for Noah's ark are hucksters 
working for the dark side of scholarship. That sounds like saying that a real 
scholar can't be religious and believe in Noah's ark. That is not based on 
Biblical Hebrew, but the belief that the Bible is full of myths. That makes 
it a discussion about religious beliefs, in my opinion. If I remember 
correctly, there were more anti-religious comments in his email that had 
nothing to do with Biblical Hebrew.
 
I am not against people discussing Noah's ark and the Bible Code, but I 
thought on B-hebrew, you are not supposed to attack other people's religious 
beliefs.
