text: di vinci ? why do the non religious people who read this book feel like they are suddenly an expert on jesus? if i read one book on flying a plane does it make me a pilot? i'm not trying to hate on anyone, i'm really just wondering. thanks. most of that book can easily be proven wrong.  there has even been genetic testing done recently on some of the supposed decedents in france (corpses from the middle ages).  guess what - they have no middle eastern dna.  that novel was written to make money.  like most novels, its connections to reality are only superficial.
