Topic: Drosnin and the bible code

[ringthane]

I find this to be a pretty fascinating topic but the guest just doesn't delve into specificity, which is amazing considering Drosnin is an atheist and a journalist. The only real 'prediction' we get is the possibility of assassination and terror attacks. Gee Michael, ya think?


George didn't butcher the interview, but again he doesn't question the guest on their methodologies. He just accepts it prima facie.


The big gaping hole in the bible code and similar esoterica -- it's easy to go back to a source text (Nostradamus, book of revelation, etc) and after an 'event', find a pattern in the text to prove there was precognitive mumbo jumbo going on.


Yawn. Whatever.

i heard drosnin on with art a few years ago talking about his howard hughes book.  i found the man to be PROFOUNDLY annoying.  he incessantly interrupted while art was speaking, to the point of making the interview very uncomfortable.  the guy appears to have absolutely no social skills whatsoever.

He did the same thing with a caller tonight. A listener tried challenging Drosnin on a particular view and Drosnin simply shut him down. George was occupied with his coloring book and simply let the two speak over each other for the duration of the call.

Was this the guy who was on the other night? I caught a few minutes of some Bible Code program a couple of nights ago as I was driving around late. If this is the guy who was on Monday night then he struck me as a intelligent con-man praying on people's fears and exploiting peoples' religious bullshit. I was actually hoping someone would talk about that program as I remember just being unbelievably irritated by the bullshit flying in that program and turning it off within a few minutes of turning it on.
