Description: Author and computer systems designer Gregg Braden wrapped this entire book around the premise that God's name is literally encoded into every human body. According to Braden's logic, the basic elements of DNA--hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon--directly translate into specific letters of the Hebrew alphabets (YHVA), which then translate into the original name of God. Braden's hope is that knowing that God's signature is carried within each cell of the estimated six billion humans on earth will give humankind the evidence we need to overcome our differences and renew our faith: Beyond Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, Native, Aboriginal, white, black, red, or yellow; man, woman, or child, the message reminds us that we are human. As humans, we share the same ancestors and exist as the children of the same Creator. In the moments that we doubt this one immutable truth, we need look no further than the cells of our body to be reminded. This is the power of the message within our cells. One could argue that this melding of spirituality and science may be the next frontier in human evolution. Nonetheless, skeptics could also argue that this DNA=YHVA equation is an eerie coincidence, instead of a quantum breakthrough--like folding a $20 bill in a certain shape and seeing the twin towers in flames (Braden dispels such skepticism by asserting that the "odds that this relationship has occurred by chance are approximately 1 in 200,000"). This is neither a consistent or easy read. Some passages are filled with dense, analytical stretches of cross referencing ancient texts with modern science. Others are more prosaic as Braden explains his beautifully optimistic hope for peace on Earth. --Gail Hudson

Review Summary: God Code |
Date: 2007-07-23 |
|
| |
|
Details: Thought provoking. Makes you wonder about all that we don't know about our history and about our prehistory. |

Review Summary: God Code reveals a Hidden Message |
Date: 2007-07-15 |
|
|
| |
Details: Like so many books that delve into the more esoteric aspects of reality, the God Code explores the hidden, unseen aspects of codes. Hidden in our DNA, and applying gematria (Hebrew letters which are assigned number values), we get a very important message that God is eternal and within our bodies.
For some people, a few of Braden's conclusions will be a stretch and seem far-fetched. However, I totally relate to all the numerological relationships Braden puts forth, so I really enjoyed the God Code. The book actually helped me understand several important connections about YHVH (Hebrew name of God) and the four DNA bases that make up all life. Because this was important to me, I referenced his observations in the book I was writing at the time.

Details: YOU HAVE TO GET THIS BOOK. THE WHOLE WORLD NEEDS THIS MESSAGE. I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING DOWN A SIMILAR PATH AND CAME TO THE SAME BASIC CONCLUSIONS. THE TIME FOR AWAKENING IS HERE AND WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME. GREGG BRADEN HAS PUT HIS MONEY WHERE HIS MOUTH IS. HE IS BRILLIANT AND TIMELY...GREAT READ.... |

Review Summary: Where is the evidence? |
Date: 2007-02-13 |
|
| |
|
Details: The Cod Code presents an interesting theory but then proceeds to insist that it is the TRUTH with no supporting evidence. I was disappointed. I wanted to see some justification for Mr Braden's theory. I wish the book had left me with more than the knowledge of Mr Branden's belief. |

Review Summary: "Make it so, Number One!" |
Date: 2007-01-17 |
|
|
| |
Details: I suspect that this meme-like idea was appropriated, possibly unconsciously, from the highly popular episode of Star Trek-The Next Generation wherein a code embedded within the DNA of various warring extraterrestrial races was deciphered and the message - placed by a supremely wise but defunct ancient race (one wonders if there might be discovered somewhere an ancient race that wasn't wise) - was, in essence - "Hello, folks! You mutually antogonistic bipeds actually derive from common genetic material: you are therefore brothers (more like cousins, but one does not quibble with the ancients)."
The idea was also somewhat presaged by Carl Sagan in his popular novel Contact, which posited a creator (an unspecified pantheistic god or similarly endowed supernatural agent) who signed his name in the mathematical design of the circle, specifically, Pi. So, returning to the book at hand, an intriguing but entirely unoriginal idea.
As usual, truly interesting concepts originate from, and in this case, end up in, the fertile domain of science fiction.
Peace and love to all.
PS: I have unsuccessfully struggled to assign this book TWO stars (the one star is in error). The system does not seem inclined to respond. Apologies to the author and readers. TWO STARS is my grade, all things considered.
