Abstract:
In 1993, Statistical Science published a paper purporting to show that a code exists in Genesis, foretelling the future. The paper had been refereed by many distinguished scientists, among them Nobelists, the world's most renowned statisticians, and others, who could not find the flaw in the paper. A team of skeptics set out, as sleuths, to find out who really put the code in the Bible.
