Rosslyn Chapel \n\nScottish composer Stuart Mitchell took 20 years to crack a complex series of codes, which have mystified historians for generations. His feat was hailed by experts as a stroke of genius. \n\nThe codes were hidden in 213 cubes in the ceiling of the chapel, where parts of the film of Dan Brown's best-seller The Da Vinci Code were shot this week.

I believe that there is a lot of compelling evidence for the theory behind the Da Vinci (everyone should notice that that's what you asked about, not the novel itself)\n\nThe Priory of Sion part is highly questionable, but the evidence for the bloodline of Christ is very plausible and at least as "provable" is the orthodox Christian account.

I've noticed they don't teach logic classes or ever use the word "fallacy" any time during Sunday School.\n\nThough I did pick up a tract today "disproving" the Da Vinci Code.  It was actually very convincing, but it was sort of like a book explaining why Santa Claus's sleigh has to be red and why he can only use flying reindeer as opposed to flying horses.

The "Da Vinci Code" is basically a mixture of distorted facts and fiction. I think the book is composed of about 90% fiction.\n\nThe author, Dan Brown, claims in his fact page that all his depictions of artworks, secret societies, and rituals are true. However, his main sources for the his 'facts'--"Holy Blood, Holy Grail" and "Templar Revelation"--are only pseudo-histories. Even the authors of "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" accept that Jesus MIGHT have been married, but it is UNLIKELY.\n\nThe Da Vinci Code supports the claim that Jesus might have been married by mentioning the Gnostic gospels. In reality, the Gnostic gospels don't mention much about Jesus's life. The only Gnostic gospel that suggests that Jesus was married was the Dead Sea Scrolls--but it is impossible to know whether the word "companion" meant "wife," because the words are in Coptic and they can't be translated the way Dan Brown says.\n\nOne more thing Brown claims to be true is that a secret organization, the Priory of Sion, exists to protect the "secrets" of Jesus's real life. The Priory of Sion was NOT created by Godfrey of Bouillon in the 11th century, it was only actually created in the 70s by an anti-semitic supporter of the Vichy government, Pierre Plantard, fir personal gain. He wrote a family tree of the Merovingian royal family and included himself on the list. He also made a list of the "Grand Masters" of the Priory of Sion. A great Renaissance painter, Leonardo Da Vinci, was included in the list. After writing all those documents, Pierre Plantard deposited them in the Bibliotheque Nationale and claimed to have "found" them years later. So the Priory of Sion was actually only a fake organization created by Plantard.\n\nBrown also says that the Church "demonized" Mary Magdalene. But she is actually a saint in both the Catholic and Orthodox churches. The only thing close to "demonizing" Magdalene that the Church did was sometime during the 6th century when Pope Gregory merged three women named "Mary" in the Bible into one person.\n\nOne more thing, Brown says that Jesus's divinity was created by the Council of Nicaea. The Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325 was actually a response to the threat of the Arian heresy, which claimed that Jesus was a semi-divine creature, not of the same being as God. This was quickly becoming a popular belief and threatening the unity of Christianity. \n\nThere are more facts that I can write, but I hope what I did write is enough. Read the books below in the sources.

It is a book that was just made into a movie-it is fiction- but hidden in D'vinci's paintings is a code that when they de-sifer it claims to be proof that Christ was a mere mortal and the whole consept of him being the son was God was a haux.\nSome want to expose the Hoax to the world and others want to protect the secret so that religion stays in tact.\nI need to see the movie to get the whole story but that's the basics.

Many of the hypotheses and conjectures proposed in the Da Vinci Code are not able to be proven.  However, it is a very interesting read and it has ignited a great deal of interest in history, travel and religion. Isn't that worth something?\n\nHere are some interesting comments regarding the religious aspects of the book:\n\nDa Vinci Code Movie on the Way!\nhttp://www.ubiquityinternational.com/drtom/2006/01/da-vinci-code-movie-is-on-its-way.htm\n\nDa Vinci Code Redux\nhttp://www.ubiquityinternational.com/drtom/2006/03/da-vinci-code-redux.htm

The book concerns the attempts of Robert Langdon, Professor of Religious Symbology at Harvard University, to solve the murder of renowned curator Jacques Saunière of the Louvre Museum in Paris. \n\nThe title of the novel refers, among other things, to the fact that Saunière's body is found in the Denon Wing of the Louvre naked and posed like Leonardo da Vinci's famous drawing, the Vitruvian Man, with a cryptic message written beside his body and a Pentagram drawn on his stomach in his own blood. The interpretation of hidden messages inside Leonardo's famous works, including the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, figure prominently in the solution to the mystery.\n\n\nThe main conflict in the novel revolves around the solution to two mysteries:\n\n    * What secret was Saunière protecting that led to his murder?\n\n    * Who is the mastermind behind his murder?\n\nThe novel has several concurrent storylines that follow different characters. Eventually all the storylines are brought together and resolved with the denouement.\n\nThe unravelling of the mystery requires the solution to a series of brain-teasers, including anagrams and number puzzles. The solution itself is found to be intimately connected with the possible location of the Holy Grail and to a mysterious society called the Priory of Sion, as well as to the Knights Templar. The story also involves a fictional rendition of the Catholic organization Opus Dei.

It is a thriller story involving secret societies, conspiracies, the Catholic Church, and the fictional "truth" about Jesus Christ. Here is the author's own summary: \n\nA renowned Harvard symbologist is summoned to the Louvre Museum to examine a series of cryptic symbols relating to Da Vinci's artwork. In decrypting the code, he uncovers the key to one of the greatest mysteries of all time . . . and he becomes a hunted man.\n\nDuring the course of the novel it is alleged that the Catholic Church is perpetuating a major, centuries-long conspiracy to hide the "truth" about Jesus Christ from the public, and it or its agents are willing to stop at nothing, including murder, to do so.\n\nBefore reading the book, I would refer you to this literature that will give you a background of the basis of the book and the real historical fact.  http://www.crisismagazine.com/september2003/feature1.htm

How does a person decide to look for a code in paintings? He is an artist too. Writing the code as he claims to find it. I believe the scrolls may be valid but not any code. Its a hoax.

da vinci never named the device - sophies grandad did but from what i can tell from the book you need to make a sphere with 5 rings leaving a hole in the middle for a fragile glass tube containing vinegar and some papyrus to wrap around it

Da Vinci code can not be proven true.  People are playing it off to be a huge conspiracy.  I think it's a load of horse pucky. If it were true it would have been completely covered up YEARS AGO.  The church has a huge amount of power, even still today.

Sure I will. Tom Hanks is a great actor.  The story line is fiction.  Sure in the preface Dan Brown makes a fool of himself by making false claims, but he states the story line is fiction.  If as a Christian I'd go and see Mission Impossible Three, surely i'd view the Davinci Code.  In fact, I look forward to seeing it.\n\nAnd further more, even if the book is "hersey", you can't argue with the results.  Whether or not Dan Brown intended it, more people are seeking out the truth behind the book and finding Constantine and the real Gospel.  I think God works in some powerful ways...\n\nPlus, the movie itself opens up a whole new area of witness that can be used for ministry.  We are called to be able to provide an answer for our faith.  If a non-believer's question comes from something within the film, i'd like to be able to give him a clear answer.

The first thing to remember about the "Da Vinci Code" is that it is a novel -- that is, fiction.  Much of the elaborate conspiracy / secret society / code apparatus of the novel comes from a book called "Holy Blood Holy Grail."  How much of all of that is true is open to argument; it is probably true that most religious / historical scholars reject it as fantasy.  A lot depends on how much secret conspiracy you are willing to believe permeates the world.\n\nThe web is full of writings on this subject, both pro and con the existence of the "code."  Poke around for a couple of hours and you can draw your own conclusion.  In sources are a few places to start.
