What is the Point?

Part of the miracle, I believe, is that when ordinary humans use ordinary human logic they can see such a great light. Rarely do we see science and logic mix with religion in such a direct way.

As we absorb each new result, studying any possible flaws as we go, we see with growing conviction: there appears to be an intelligence - an intentionality - to the letters of the Torah that is far beyond human capabilities. This is the only "message" we can extract from the codes - but it is rather revolutionary. More on this point here.

How does one integrate this message with prior beliefs? I think it is a personal process, involving some combination of struggle, awe, comfort, and deeper study of the Torah itself. Perhaps that process is itself one reason for the miracle.
