That book is a load of BS. The guy just wrote it to stir up controversy so it would sell- and guess what? IT WORKED! So now he's rolling in the dough from the number one controversial BS bestseller, plus money from a movie that I heard would have been lame even if the plot was believable...So I haven't read it, because a) the plot is a load of bull, Jesus didn't have kids, you morons! and b) if I read it, I would be contributing to his success. So just skip that book and read something good, like the lord of the rings, john grisham, michael crichton, etc.

There are a bunch of noncanonical New Testament documents, many of which are called gnostic gospels. These contain things like charming childhood stories of Jesus which have no particular point, such as one where as a child he takes a stone and makes it into a bird. I believe the Gnostics also advanced the theory that Jesus married and had children.
Gnosticism is considered heretical by the Roman Catholic Church. I don't know what consequences this heresy had in ages past; when I was first learning seriously about Catholicism in the early eighties, it was regarded as being quite definitely outside Catholicism; but there were no direct efforts to stamp it out.

From a purely scientific standpoint the existence of Jesus is tenuous. Although the Jewish scribe Josephus recorded the existence of the 'Nazarene', we really don't have many factual (independently verifiable outside of the Bible) accounts of his life.
The Di Vinci Code was a sham. It was neat to let your mind wonder into another reality though. It did expand the conversation concerning the deification of Jesus juxtaposed to Jesus the human man. It is still about the search for truth, and not the acceptance of someones idea of reality.

Apparently, He didn't. I watched a documentary in National Geographic that cracks the mystery of the Da Vinci code. They ran a test on geneology and bloodline on "Jesus' descendants" and there weren't.

How could he? He was thirty whenhe died on the cross. He was abachelor. Da Vinci merely fictional and is a good thriller to discuss.

Most of the times I dont believe such authors as it is all about money - juicy stories make money.

actually they did some experiments and found they don't think it would have even been possible at the time for various reasons.
