This is very interesting information. It would seem that there is Bible Code software for sale everywhere as a results. I spent 20+ years in software development. My feeling is this should still be in the hands of the researchers. I hope they are continuing with their work.
The gimmick with the software is an age old appeal to a person's ego to look and see if they are listed. It is a shame for solid research to come to this.
I remember you mentioning before about being involved in software development. That sounds as if it would be very interesting! I have also heard about the ego boosting software.
I agree with you concerning the research being corrupted by the money seekers.
The above videos have been around for a while. I don't know if you have seen these yet, but here is updated information on bible code:
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvCMxiwFIsE
Part 2:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7J1USKWpbg&feature=related
I think these range from part 1-7. I have not gotten a chance to watch them all, but they are all on you tube.
