God cannot survive science, “The Da Vinci Code” author Dan Brown said on Thursday, putting his faith in technological advances to connect people in new ways that would eventually scrap the need for religion.

“Historically, no god has survived science. Gods evolved,” the best-selling American novelist said at the Frankfurt Book Fair, where he unveiled his newest book, “Origin”.

The fifth instalment in the wildly popular series that started with “The Da Vinci Code” tracks Harvard professor Robert Langdon’s latest code-cracking adventure to uncover the mysteries of the universe, this time exploring the battle between religion and science.

“I happen to believe in looking at advances through technology,” Brown told reporters.

“Over the next decade our species will become enormously interconnected at a level we are not used to, and we will start to find our spiritual experiences through our interconnections with each other.

“Our need for the exterior God that sits up there and judges us… will diminish and eventually disappear.”

Brown, whose books have sold over 200 million copies, famously drew the ire of the Vatican when “The Da Vinci Code” was published in 2003.

One of the top-selling books of all time, it tells the story of a conspiracy by the Catholic Church to hide the fact that Jesus had a child with Mary Magdalene.

But Brown, 53, insisted that he was not against religion, and that said he just wanted to “start a dialogue”.

“I think religion does a lot of good in the world. I also think that the world has changed such that it is no longer a requirement,” he said.

He praised Pope Francis for trying to bring the Church into the modern era.

“I think the Church needs to evolve or it will go extinct, and I think that Pope Francis feels that also and is trying very, very hard to make Catholicism relevant in the modern world,” he said.

He said his latest novel, released last week and already topping book charts around the world, also delves into current concerns about fake news.

“Now more than ever we need to look at why we believe what we believe, look at our information sources and be very discerning,” he said.

In a wide-ranging press conference, Brown also revealed that the intrepid Langdon — portrayed by Tom Hanks in the Hollywood adaptations of the book series — was “the man I wish I could be”.

Asked whether the professor would have been a Donald Trump voter, Brown replied: “I doubt it. I don’t think so.”

A fifth installment? I'm ecstatic. Best author ever.

PS: The series started with "Angels and Demons" and not "The Da Vinci Code"

Dan Brown is a known liar.

gods evolved. True.

Without Life, and Physical laws of nature,

Science cannot exist.

Take life away and laws of nature, science stops.

1. It takes a hurricane to cut out power from the reach of millions.


2. If there is no air there will be No sound, no communication, no life, no existence.


Take away the physical laws of nature,

Science will end and its inventions.

Science is dependent on a whole lot of stuff.It is limited.

Take away physical laws of Nature and a God will still exists.

Laws of Nature has nothing to do with Spirits.

It has a lot to do with humans who are limited by time and space.

Human brain cannot understand some concepts.

We can understand Heat, Electromagnetism, wave, sound, matter, Light, etc. Because they are physical phenomenon upon which we base science.

Rainbow has seven colours.

White Light has seven colours.

Why seven? Why not 6 or 10? We have an explanation for HOW it splits to seven.

We don't know why it is 7.

ah another low level atheist who cannot control his emotions. You should inform you atheist friends that the genre of the da vinci code is fiction, so that they will stop spreading misinformation by presenting some of its elements as fact.

Atheist are brain dead.. I got to know that through years of argument.. Advancement in science will not extinct the idea of God, rather it will strengthen it. Man is more than this water spacesuit we call body, at the core of man, there's always a craving to connect to the core. As long as we still dream and breath, the call for God realization will always be there.. No matter the peak science attains, Theist and Athiest will still exist, to argue whether God really exist or not.

I don't believe in the idea of God as some religion depicts, that however doesn't mean it's unexistent. You've got to let go of limitations to truly behold. Atheism is a limitation... I know that cause I was once an atheist.

The gods of religion can't survive science. They shall soon be wiped off.

Doctufos: Otem Erectus 209:14-17


14. Now know also that all we gods of science and findings have agreed to bind up all the gods of religion. And Yahweh, Allah, Moloch, Gaol, Mazda, Eshu, Enlil and hundreds of gods who have refused to stop deceiving humanity with their written and spoken words have we planned to subdue.
15. And I[Atum], Vishnu, Odin, Enki, Olorun, Abassi, Chukwu and many other gods who have now favoured science and discoveries of nature over religion shall do the psychospiritual battle against all gods of religion.
16. And the world shall begin to use their brains when they shall see the true history which you shall bring.
17. Now the rate at which the pastors of Yahweh and the terrorists of Allah shall do unrighteous things shall increase worldwide. And many shall by this know that the right way is to worship none of those gods and do good to humanity.
