The distinction is that precession is objective, with the historical parallels fitting an actual astronomical prediction. By contrast the so-called Bible Code lacks any scientific basis and is grounded in obsolete metaphysical ideas which have been debunked by science. You may not like my ideas but you cannot debunk them.
