The book is about revealing truths about history and facts and, of course, evidence. In the experience of so many throughout the world, it is so much more interesting and exciting to learn about those things that have the evidence to back them up. It feels much more real with there is evidence. Evidence is the key word here.
Pretty much everything that is listed in the book is real – it’s fact, it’s evidence. What do we have to go on with everything that is preached by the Catholic (or any other religion’s) church? Faith. Not evidence, not factual information. Nothing that is proven. It’s all based on centuries of what other’s have said. Were we there? Did we see it happen? Can we really believe those who said they were? What if everything ever written in the bible was a lie? Have you considered that possibility? What if all of the things in Brown’s book were real, were discovered? How stupid would you feel to learn that you and so many millions like you in the world have been following a complete and utter lie?
