I never really looked into the real meaning of it and I have not seen the movie,yet. However, I rememberwhen I was younger, people saying it was what the bible really means and that jesus had a son and they where trying to kill the bloodline.I don't know for sure thats, why I am asking.

Chaos theory in christian theology. Being religious means that there is a right and wrong to how we live life in a society of many cultures. Like evil and the good of evil exist only in human evolution. All other "creatures of god" exist to exist for the moral of evolution. The powers behind the thorne of the chuch and state have always been made based on questions of morality and control of fate.
Da Vinci and science looked to nature and evolution and asked if jesus was a man of god or a well educated man?

Hey!, Here´s my answer:
The Da Vinci Code is a mystery/detective novel by American author Dan Brown, published in 2003 by Doubleday.
The novel is based on the controversial premise that there is a conspiracy within the Catholic Church to cover up the true story of Jesus. According to this premise, the Vatican knows it is living a lie but continues to do so to keep itself in power.
The novel has helped generate popular interest in speculation concerning the Holy Grail legend and the role of Mary Magdalene in the history of Christianity. Fans have lauded the book as creative, action-packed and thought-provoking. Critics have attacked it as poorly written, inaccurate and creating confusion between speculation and fact. From a religious point of view, some critics consider it sacrilegious, and decry the many negative implications about the Catholic Church and Opus Dei.
Dan Brown's novel was a smash hit in 2003, even rivaling the sales of the highly popular Harry Potter series [1]. It spawned a number of offspring books and drew glowing reviews from the New York Times, People Magazine and the Washington Post [2]. It also re-ignited interest in the history of the Catholic Church. As well as re-invigorating interest in the church, The Da Vinci Code has also spawned numerous "knockoffs" (as they are referred to by Publishers Weekly) [3], or novels that have a striking resemblance to The Da Vinci Code, including Raymond Khoury's The Last Templar, and The Templar Legacy by Steve Berry.
It is a worldwide bestseller with more than 60.5 million copies in print (as of May 2006) and has been translated into 44 languages. It is thought to be the eighth best-selling book of all time. Combining the detective, thriller and conspiracy fiction genres, the book is part two of a trilogy that started with Brown's 2000 novel Angels and Demons, which introduced the character Robert Langdon. In November 2004, Random House published a "Special Illustrated Edition", with 160 illustrations interspersed with the text.
In 2006, a film adaptation, The Da Vinci Code, was released by Columbia Pictures.
I hope it helps you

" The Davinci Code" is a fictional story based on some theories developed by Leonardo Davinici the famous painter.
The real theory of Davinci was : Jesus did marry Mary the Magdalene and they got a child together. And this child lived and for the child represent the blood line of Jesus in that case.
Davinici represented that in different pictures of his, and some icons and symbols. Nothing is for sure.. or even scientifically pr oven.

The real meaning is that Jesus isn't as holy as he was perceived and that he had children and they (his bloodline) are still around today... and they are praised by a secret society.. And that the people of the past left clues for 'us' to find out this great secret about Jesus. It's called the Holy Grail because if this secret of Jesus being a father got out it would ruin Christianity as we know it.... but this is just a story made up, none of it is based on facts, it's a fictional book with fictional characters, fictional clues...etc

the da vinci code is a made up story to entertain people. the story goes that jesus and mary magdeleine have a baby and that part of the bloodline is still alive. the plot takes place in present day when the main character is suddenly caught up in the conspiracy. one side is trying to protect the descendant, and one side is trying to kill and destry the humiliating evidence that jesus could have sinned with mary magdeleine, thus blowing the idea that jesus was/is God.

has some interesting info on the fact that this is all FICTION.

Read the book (and watch the movie, it's nice), but remember that Dan Brown didn't say anything new: the theory about the existence of Jesus's son or daughter it's not new.

There is NO DaVinci Code!
Dan Brown wrote a fictional novel. (Decent, action packed, but pretty much predictible) And he and his publisher got lucky. Some studio in Hollywood bought the rights and made a movie starring Tom Hanks. Bingo! Mr. Brown and his publisher arrive on Easy St.
That's it, that's all!

The book is FICTION and is meant to entertain - it is not meant to be taken as truth. There are historical references in it, and the story centers around Jesus being married to Mary Magdalene and having his descendants being "The Holy Grail". Pretty fanciful and I thought it was good stuff, up until the ending which disappointed me.

It's a great fiction story that the religious right doesn't want you to read because it makes you question their teachings. Read the book, skip the movie. It's a fun read.

The book is fiction.
The "Da Vinci code" is a product of Dan Brown's imagination.
Enjoy it, or not, as that.
But it is nothing more than fiction.
