9-10 PM The Bible Code: Predicting Armageddon Is there a prophetic, highly accurate code locked within the Bible that outlines past and future events? Does the Code contain hidden messages about people such as Napoleon, Einstein, and Hitler, and key world events like WWII, the Kennedy brothers' assassinations, and 9/11? More frightening are references to future events--including Earth's impending end. We take a balanced look through the eyes of Code supporters and critics and let viewers determine its accuracy in predicting the future. cc

10-11 PM Bible Code II: Apocalypse and Beyond
As we delve further into the provocative theory that a cryptogram exists in the Bible outlining past and future events, we learn how the Code works from supporters and examine supposed examples of precise messages. And we hear from critics who present compelling arguments that the Code is merely a statistical anomaly. We uncover how military and intelligence organizations interact with the Code, and compare it with other sources of biblical prophecy. cc

9-11 PM Countdown to Armageddon
Asteroids on a collision course with Earth, super volcanoes, global warming, killer viruses--all are potential catastrophes that threaten to wipe out life on our planet. Are these simply natural disasters that have been occurring since time immemorial? Or are these threats terrifying prophesies from the Bible that are at last coming true? Are our fears overblown? Or are the infamous Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse riding among us in a countdown to Armageddon? cc

O gawd! Why not call it the insanity channel? I know that a lot of the programs are good, but this just generates more fear. Numbers crap based on bible crap

IMO, The whole idea is to put something on that will make you want to watch, so they can sell commercials. "End of the world" always sounds interesting, thats how the borg generates "veiwership" as well.

I am actually very optimistic, they will probably show the different theories and ideas and present some scientists in addition to some religious leaders on it. It might be informative and might make people realize that it's all guesswork based on some writings of old men written thousands of years ago.

It might take the hocus pocus out of it and speak factually.

I'm hoping they show the long history of end of the world doomsayers. JWs aren't the only ones. If every prediction had come true we would have been destroyed a hundred times over. As it is, none have come true and here we are still facing more of the same bunk.

I read the Bible Code book; the premise being that the ancient Hebrew texts were some kind of "coda" or "matrix" of prophecies from the ancients. This was the excuse the author gave as to why the Hebrew scribes had to be so EXACT in their transcriptions --supposedly under the punishment of execution if they transcribed incorrectly.

However; as you read the book, the author claims to have all the Hebrew inscriptions programed into a computer program which you CAN BUY for $89.99.

What was very surprising and to me the punch line ( being a cynical 3rd generation New Yorker) is that you can also purchase ( for the same price) the Bible Code program for the English language!

Now I might buy this premise based on the ancient Hebrew language spelling out anograms ( word scrambles; like the New York Times); but translating this into English and expecting the same anograms to translate the same meaning is a bit much.

I find the New York Times anograms far more interesting.....and that only costs me .75
