Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
In this dense, tangent-filled book, bestselling author Braden (The Isaiah Effect) argues that every human being has the name of God literally embedded in his or her DNA. Braden's research relies heavily on the kabalistic technique of assigning numerical values to each letter of the Hebrew alphabet. He begins by correlating the essential elements of the human body (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon) to their Hebrew equivalents, then he calculates their alpha/numeric values and finds that these elements spell out the Hebrew letters for God-YHVH. Braden attempts to make his explanations of this complicated process clear and free of scientific jargon. Despite his efforts, however, the chapters tend to drag, and the book contains many unnecessary digressions. He actually spends the first half of the volume discussing the theories of creationism and evolutionism, so that he doesn't reach his God-DNA arguments until midway through the book. After he does explain his finding, Braden spends the last section of the book ruminating on its possible implications. He speculates that "through the primal act of creating human life, God shared a part of himself as he 'breathed his breath' into our species." He wonders if "we will allow...the diversity within Christian, Hebrew, and Muslim values" to divide the world irrevocably. He speaks of scientists who believe it is possible for humans to one day live in a perfect world, free from disease, decay and war, should man truly understand that every person, no matter what race or religion, is made of the same stuff, and made by the same creator. Braden's message of unity is an appealing one, but this book's rambling style makes for a laborious read.

a valuable addition to an exisiting body of knowledge....,
By "tom-mcwilliams" (Chicago) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: The God Code: The Secret of Our Past, the Promise of Our Future (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book with startling new information about the link between the atomic make-up of man and the name of God in the Bible. The reason I'm writing this review is because some of the other reviewers here just don't get it. They seem to be threatened by a universal biological atomic structure which would bring a sense of unity to mankind. They are so wrapped up in their own dogmatic religous beliefs and their own definite opinion of who God is, that they are unable to accept the author's credible proposition that there is a direct atomic connection between God and man. Braden has come up with a fascinating theory which may be the true secret code in the Hebrew letters that spell-out the name of God. If you think about it, what better way could the ancients pass on the knowledge that humankind is composed of four basic elements? The four letters in the name of God would be the perfect vehicle for transmitting this information. Otherwise, this information would have surely been destroyed by organized religion who denied all new scientific theories for hundreds of years. Lest we not forget the famous Alexandrian Library which was set on fire by religious zealots who destroyed 600,000 original ancient documents that are now lost forever. If this code had been written in any other way, you can rest assured it would have been destroyed by these same type of religious fanatics who insisted that the Sun revolved around the earth for 1200 years. Anytime, a true breakthrough in religious-science comes along, there will always be those detractors who are afraid that their religion may not be right about the true nature of God. It's time to let go of the Biblical fairytales and consider what the author is saying.

The God Code...But who was God?,
Ce commentaire est de: The God Code: The Secret of Our Past, the Promise of Our Future (Hardcover)
Existing reviews of this book seem to polarise to the Christian believers in God and his creation OR the Scientific, non religious debunkers. Surely there is more scope to it than this. The book is not 'pseudo-science'. It has a plausible and testable hypothesis that should cause any of scientific mind to stop criticising and start analysing. Similarly, the book does not necessarily imply that a 'christian type' God created all. I see nothing in this book which demands that the creator be a deity or universal creator. In fact, it leads me to another conclusion that both religious and scientific types should take note of. It is clear (and many other scientists/authors/researchers point to this) that, in our past,humanity was genetically created by some being/person present on Earth at that time. These beings clearly came from off this planet and, in seeding humanity, using a greater understanding of chemistry and DNA than we have today,became the subject of legend and religion, together with their science.This book insights a new aspect of the alchemy/chemistry, the previous absence of which has caused conclusive proof of the above suggestion to be missed. Maybe this will now change. Read the work of famous chemist Peter Plichta in conjunction with this book and prepare to have your world view changed. There are so many scientist writers out there who have not taken the trouble to educate themselves with the implications of number theory and its apparent/proveable association with ancient alchemical writings (including the Cabbala..subject of this book)that they do themselves and everybody else a great dis-service in condemning such writing as 'pseudo science'when it is clearly they who are the 'pseudo-scientists'. (Search Peter Plichta on this site!) Gregg Braden has written an interesting book here, but flawed insofar as he has left himself wide open to criticism concerning lack of detail/clarity.(I found two 'typo' errors in tables and descriptions which create incorrect understanding if not spotted..In the Tree of Life Diagram, for example, Keter is detailed twice, altering the entire meaning of the diagram.He also refers to the 'Fourth letter of the alphabet' when he means the 3rd, in one place)Too much time spent on persuading us that the implications are vast and not enough time on putting over the point in a convincing and testable manner, for the layperson. He did point out that he avoided a technical manual and inserted notes in the back, but the lack of these notes, and more, in the text makes for too light a read, on what is, after all, an immense subject. That said, this is a must! The world is changing as we learn more about our history. If we get caught up in the void between myopic religious believers and the scientific debunkers who have not woken up to the true origins and nature of our science, then such important books as this are doomed to remain crushed in the middle. Buy this book and share it. The world could be a better place. And, if Bradens work passes peer review,it probably will be.

pseudoscientific rubbish,
By R. Hutchinson "autonomeus" (a world ruled by fossil fuels and fossil minds) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
Ce commentaire est de: The God Code: The Secret of Our Past, the Promise of Our Future (Hardcover)
I have no idea why Amazon has this book on its Science Books page. This is just silly numerology, there is absoutely nothing scientific about it. Probably based on the ridiculous but popular book "The Bible Code" of a few years ago, this author decided to go one better --what if the sequence of DNA spelled out the name of God? Wow, awesome, dude! The idea, apparently, is to rescue theism from the evil clutches of secular science, which discovered DNA, a key mechanism of evolution, by "discovering" that God carved his initials, so to speak, on the strand. This revelation is somehow supposed to make us feel hopeful, but it seems to me that if God intentionally created humans and human nature as it is He has a lot to answer for. (See Mark Twain's "Letters From the Earth" for a hilarious examination of the contradictions of Biblical theodicy.) If you're looking for scientifically-based hopefulness, check out Daniel Dennett's "Freedom Evolves" or Michael Shermer's new one "The Science of Good and Evil," or Robert Axelrod's pioneering "The Evolution of Cooperation." If you're looking for Biblically-based hopefulness, I suggest reading the "Sermon on the Mount" and hoping that all self-professed Christians will soon take it to heart instead of supporting the latest bloody war on heathen unbelievers. If you are a theistic opponent of modern science, you don't really need God's name carved in the DNA strand, now do you? In all seriousness, save yourself the money and do not encourage such nonsense.
