Then a further leap is asked of you – you are expected to accept that it translates to “ God/Eternal within the body” and that this means “ Humankind is one family, united through a common heritage, and the result of an intentional act of creation!” As if that weren’t enough, he tries to convince us that this message is the key to world peace. With a few deft tricks he can make the numbers work out just right. Once you have accepted these premises, Braden shows how the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen in our DNA spell out YHVH. Then you must accept Kabbalistic numerology and believe the ancient authors of Kabbalah literature knew the secrets of the universe. Then you must believe that of the many, many things he has been called in many, many languages, he prefers one of his several Hebrew names, and specifically prefers the 4-letter form YHVH of that name. First you must believe there is a God, and only one God, and that he created humans (possibly by adding a secret ingredient to an ape). We are indeed the story-telling species, and Braden has created an engaging tall tale.īraden’s arguments only work if you are willing to accept a few ground rules. He explains this in his new book, The God Code, once again demonstrating that the human brain is marvelously adept at recognizing patterns and finding analogies. Gregg Braden says God did leave us a message – in our DNA. In Contact, Carl Sagan speculated that if there was a God and he wanted to leave us a message, he might have encoded it in the digits of Pi. Maybe God didn’t leave messages in the Bible but never mind, there is always another inventive mind out there with a better idea. Skeptics had fun applying the same bogus method to Moby Dick and War and Peace and finding even more amazing messages there.

The Bible Code found amazing messages by forming grids of various dimensions from the Hebrew text and looking for words in all directions as in a “wordsearch” grid. Abductees find aliens in their bedrooms Von Daniken found ancient astronauts everywhere he looked. Children find animal shapes in the clouds adults find Jesus on a taco. You can find prophecies in the Bible and Nostradamus – they are surprisingly accurate (at least in retrospect).
