Data Over Dogma Podcast

Currently Playing: The Secret Code in the Bible's First Word (Debunked)

This episode's Watch Your Language takes on a claim that floods social media every single day: that the Christian gospel is secretly encoded in the shapes and "original meanings" of the Hebrew letters — buried in the first word of Genesis, in the divine name, even in your DNA. We through how the Hebrew alphabet actually works (spoiler: acrophonic script indexes sounds, not concepts), why the aleph-tav "alpha and omega" trick falls apart, and what's really going on with the Cepher Bible and every appeal to Strong's. Then Dan B unveils his own airtight code proving what the letters in "Bible," "data," and "dogma" REALLY mean. _______________________________________________ Get your Data Over Dogma merch at our online store: https://data-over-dogma-shop.fourthwall.com/ Shop our classic collection before our old store closes: https://datadoverdogma.printful.me _______________________________________________ Support Data Over Dogma and get every episode early and ad-free, plus exclusive bonus content — become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/DataOverDogma _______________________________________________ Listen to the podcast on every app: https://pod.link/1681418502 _______________________________________________ Follow us: Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/dataoverdogmapod TikTok — https://www.tiktok.com/@data.over.dogma.pod Threads — https://www.threads.com/@dataoverdogmapod X — https://x.com/data_over_dogma Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/DataOverDogmaPod _______________________________________________ Get Dan McClellan's New York Times bestselling book, The Bible Says So: https://static.macmillan.com/static/smp/bible-says-so-9781250347466/ _______________________________________________ Chapters: 0:00 Wildfires & Fireworks 1:43 Watch Your Language: Magic Letters 2:38 How the Hebrew Alphabet Works 3:45 The "Bereshit" Jesus Code 4:51 Acrophonic Script Explained 6:44 The Divine Name Decoded? 10:04 YHWH Hidden in DNA? 12:30 Aleph-Tav & the Alpha and Omega 15:11 The Cepher Bible Problem 17:53 Why "Strong's Says" Falls Apart 22:32 Decoding English with ChatGPT 25:36 Playing Their Own Game 27:04 Wrap-Up & Patreon _______________________________________________ #DataOverDogma #BibleScholarship #HebrewBible #BibleCode #AlephTav
