Torah Codes Tutorial: 8

Belief System Controversy

There is a controversy over Torah codes. This controversy has a number of dimensions. The first one is a controversy over belief system: a belief system conflict.

  1. The existence of Torah Codes is compatible with the belief that the Torah was Divinely given on Mount Sinai just over 3300 years ago.
  2. The non-existence of Torah Codes is compatible with the belief that the Torah was Divinely given on Mount Sinai just over 3300 years ago.
  3. The existence of Torah codes is not compatible with the Scientism Hypothesis.
  4. The Scientism Hypothesis implies that Torah Codes cannot exist.

The Scientism Hypothesis

  1. Scientism claims that there is nothing else in the universe other than materiality: matter, energy and the forces that constrain them.
  2. Scientism does not recognize Divinity and does away with metaphysical, philosophical, and religious claims, as the truths they proclaim cannot be established by the scientific method.
  3. Scientism maintains there is no knowledge about the physical world other than that which can be established by the scientific method.
  4. Scientism maintains that there are no miracles, no special or unusual events that are caused by science fiction time travelers or God. Both, scientism maintains are not possible.
  5. The Scientism Hypothesis implies that Torah Codes cannot exist.
  6. Scientism is not part of or required by science or scientific methodology.
