[Yellowmc]

Has anyone here read the book? If so what do you think about it.

I read the book and I was pretty much astonished! :o

[iBrightDev]

[Craig]

I didnt read the book but I cant wait to see the movie :-).

[Tree]

I thought it was pretty retarted.

[Daniel]

I'm going to see Over The Hedge instead of Da Vinci Code. :(

[Danijel]

It is not a Trick to read the Book. The trick is to understand the meaning of it.

[Wojtek]

and what might it be O wise one?

NOVEL

A fictional prose narrative of considerable length, typically having a plot that is unfolded by the actions, speech, and thoughts of the characters.

I started reading the book today and am currently at the point where the guy jumps out the window.

[uzzer]

Is this the same book that states that Jesus married and had a child, and the child's descendents have the 'Holy Grail' in their possession till this date??
if so, then it is a fiction. Because the story is based on a group who say were created in 1066 by the descendents of Jesus. After research, it was founded that the group was a massive hoax, the hoax was created in the year 1956 by three frenchman.

The years may not be accurate, but i think you know what i mean

[stuffradio]

Yep, I believe it is the same book. ;)

[tandoc]

I've read it, but I haven't bothered to check if all the 'historical evidence' used in it is true or not. Either way, I liked it. I'll wait for it to come out on dvd though :x

[Dean]

The Bible is way more fictious than The Da Vinci code will ever be - come on; The earth was made in 7 DAYS?

[stuffradio]

Dean look at it in perspective. The definition of time was different back than. So 7 days could've been 10,000 years, 100,000 years who knows.

[Dean]

One day is defined as one revolution of the earth upon it self. Ie: Day/Night. That has never changed, it was like that at the time of the dinosaurs. (65 million years ago)

[stuffradio]

Yes, Day/Night was back than but I think a day was longer than 24 hours back than :p

[Dean]

Well you're mistaken!

[stuffradio]

:o Prove it!

[Peo]

4 hours from now I'll be watching the movie. :p

[Dean]

Let us know how it goes peo my main man.

[stuffradio]

zomg, I already know about the 7 days thing Dean.. nvm. I don't know how to try and explain what I was explaining ;)

[Danijel]

Does anyone know the difference between Religion and Science ???
They have the oposite thinking about everything but still they can't subsist without each other...
"The earth was made in 7 DAYS" Think about it... :)

[Peo]

Ian McKellan (X-men, Lord of the rings) as Sir Teabing was great as always. The rest of the movie didn't impress me much.

The earth was made in 2,555,000 days! Think about it!


(Since that probably went 'WHOOSH' right over most people, the point I am actually
making although very subtle, unless you understand the physics, is that 'Science' and
'Religion' ALWAYS agree with each other and the funny thing is that 99.9% of the
world's population is unable to comprehend this fact always making arguments where
there are none, seeing opposition where there is none ... it's kind of funny actually)

I admire Ian McKellan, I can't wait to see his new X-men movie!

Don't know if you were being sarcastic there, but if you weren't I don't agree with that... but that's just my $0.02 :)

[ZoomCities]

Dean, 1 day to God is 1000 years to man. Its in the Bible.

2 Peter 3:8 (King James Version)
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

[amz]

Don't know if you were being sarcastic there, but if you weren't I don't agree with that... but that's just my $0.02 :)
No, I'm not being sarcastic and I would take a fairly safe bet that you
don't actually have the slightest clue what I'm really talking about above
even with the added explanation trying to give some added clarity.

This thread really is not the time or place for this discussion as you
are talking about things which would unravel the very foundation of
the universe itself and all time and space if all the things I now know
were known by the rest of mankind. It is a topic that could take
years to try to explain and even then would only begin to scratch
the surface of all these things but this is as good a start as any.

But anyway, to keep things brief and not to get too far off topic,
7 days is exactly equal to 2,555,000 days. Even as I say that,
many people will think that I am trying to say that each day in
the Bible is an allusion to some other time reference --- I'm NOT!

When I say "7 days", I mean 7 physical days of 24 hours but at
the same time I also mean 2,555,000 days as well.

Confused yet?

If this helps any .... think about Einstein. (big clue there)


Dean, 1 day to God is 1000 years to man. Its in the Bible.
Bravo! Very good! I was not expecting anyone to catch any of that!

Actually the same statement is repeated 49 times in the Bible which
should say that it is very significant but usually read just in passing.

Another thing repeated over and over again is that "God is light".

It only begins to get interesting though when you start to put it all together
and look at it from the vantage point of science and physics taking into
consideration the deceleration of time as you approach the velocity of light
and suddenly things become a whole lot clearer like flipping on a light switch.

Anyway, back on topic ....

I have not yet seen the Da Vinci code movie but I expect it to be a good movie
just given the heavy hitting cast that is in it. Regarding the theme and theories behind
the Da Vinci Code though, I see a lot of flaws in the conclusions drawn by the theory
but still makes for a good story and possibly even a good movie in any case. That is
not to say that I don't think there is anything to the Da Vinci Code theories but rather
just that they have drawn the wrong conclusions.

[Webdude]

What? Point me to a verse that clearly says 1000 man years is one God year. I think you kids are losing it, seriously. It's possible, but nobody knows. It could be 3000 years for all we know, or it could be 7,000 years.

Oh yeah, anyway, will see the DaVinci Code friday at noon. I will let you know how bad it sucks. You can see I have tremendous faith in our modern movie makers to actually come out with a decent movie (Ok, well, Narnia was good :D)

[Dean]

(i went to a catholic school; we had one day where we had a science lesson; followed by a religion lesson. we learn't about evolution in science; and 50 minutes later we were learning how "god" "created" man/earth/everything.)

[Yellowmc]

From early reviews the film doesn't look too good, at the premier, everyone started laughing during the most important part of the film, not a very good sign!

[Gayowulf]

The book was a good entertaining read. I'm not going to bother to see the movie... too much hype

[brutetal]

I saw the movie yesterday, it was okay. It's not that great. It pretty much almost followed the book, what I thought.

I rate it a 7/10. Okay movie, but its not one of those movies you just have to see.

[iBrightDev]

i thought the move was great. it has tom hanks, so it was sure to be good. never saw anything with him that wasnt. had a few little wists that i liked but sort of suspected, but it all worked out in the end. good movie.

[Robert]

I jsut got the book and will be reading it soon.

[ashish]

i found the book to be wayy better than the movie, which felt like a 2.5 hour special eposide of 'The Amazing Race' :)

[Johnson]

The book was good, didn't like the ending though. I'll see the movie this weekend if I'm not busy.

Oh, to piss of catholics, here are 220 contradictions in the bible:

Enjoy.

[iBrightDev]

thanks LG, it is always interesting reading things like that. :D I would like to read the book now just to see how it differes from the movie, but I feel the movie was pretty good. the ending was a little unsatisfying i must say, but not bad. i would watch it again though.

[Johnson]

The ending in the book is also unsatisfying.

[Johnson]

Also, I thought the name Teabing was stupid so I always called him Teabag. Let's hope that's how they pronounce it in the movie.

[ashish]

yea that name kept reminding me of 'ming tea' :)

[tshark]

read the book before you see the movie!

[Johnson]

The movie sucked. Ron Howard tooked the book, ate it, crapped it out and threw in Tom Hanks.
