  • Intellectual masturbation at his best

  • When there is no evidence of Leonardo being a homosexual - I wonder why. If there was during his time he would have been imprisoned.

  • The Davinci Code is pure commercial shit. I think that everyone knows that. It is fiction. It just goes to show how dumb people are still.

  • "Vitruvian Man" or symmetrical sodomy?

  • witness the greatest cover up in human history. As much as I like that line, Dan Brown and Blythe Brown (his great wife) for some reason did not go as far as the "Holy Blood and the Holy Grail" and did not include in their book the story explained by Jesus himself in the Hag Nammadi scroll called "The second story by Great Seth" where Jesus himself explains that he did not allow himself to be crucified. That would have made Da Vinci more complete, I would like to think.

  • TheMedievalMan

    Tell it like it is man, Dan Brown is a fucking idiot, who has made a fortune out of this bullshit,what causes people to even remotely believe what this cocksucker says, is beyond my comprehension.

  • "There is no evidence that Leonardo was a member of any secret society". Uhm if there was evidence then the society wouldn't be very secret, would it?

  • Bible scholar Robert M. Price has written an excellent book, 'The Da Vinci Fraud' which B. Thiering says gives the non expert the actual information about sources that Brown so often misuses. Gerd Ludemann says this book stimulates the reader to check Price's daring theses against the context of the texts themselves. Earl Doherty says Price gives an informative debunking of Brown's fanciful plot along with Christianity's equally fanciful traditions about its own beginnings

  • Look what I found hidden in famous paintings. I can prove who the Bloodline of Jesus is. Look at my videos.

  • he is painful to listen to... I love this type of thing and hes just bored the shit out of me for 20 minutes

  • boringgggggggggg

    

  • This man is obviously Biased. You can tell by his tone and delivery. He is passive aggressively sarcastic whenever he mentions a key point that Dan Brown was trying to make. He's Dry Toast.

  • Very poor speaker.

  • wait a minute......mary magdalena had a child without having sex right?

    well....how would you explain the evidence in paintings..that she is in the arms of allot of different men....does this mean she was a prostitute? posing as a virgin..that being sacret to christianity?? so she got pregnant and said she got the child from god or an angel...so she wouldnt be prosecuted with adultery...?

  • @victoriscool1 And after all that, a group of Christians - who believe that Jesus was the son of God/was God himself then decide that it's so shocking that Jesus had sex that they killed every one of his decendants and condemn themselves to eternal torment rather than accept that a small section of a book written hundreds of years after the facts may be wrong! How anyone can believe that Dan Brown rubbish is beyond me.

  • i know a guy from northern ireland, that could read egyptain language more that those that lived in egypt,h lived outside killeagh, he was so dam good at reading the stuff written on tombs of ancient people, he was able to express to people wasnt jibberesh, this is the son etc lived in such a land,well of families of course but encrripted

  • DAVINCI CODE DOSENT EXIST! GET A LIFE PEOPLE DAN BROWN IS A SELF PROCLAIMED FICTION WRITER! WHY DO PEOPLE WANT TO BELIEVE SUCH BULLSHIT? DAVINCI WAS A BRILLIANT ARTIST AND DEVOUT CATHOLIC! THATS AS EXITING AS IT GETS!

  • That guy has his facts wrong! Fache was not Paris Police Dept... he was of DCPJ!

  • Many good points but the uncompromisable aspect of being is not what you become but who you know to become!

  • This Guy Know what he's talking about Dan Brown Should listen and learn

  • This guy needs some charisma..

  • @TheDeadlyRook seriously;i hate it when someone is too boring...

  • I wasted 5 minutes of my life on this idiot. Like the other guy said he us better than a sleeping pill and note how he pronounced the priory name wrong. Sooooo f.... Boring.

  • This guy is better than a sleeping pill.

    Zzzzzzzzzz.

  • first question: fact or fiction?... fiction. back to porn me thinks

  • If this man had a good personality this at least would be fun to watch, it is only me or dose this man wishes he wrote a best seller like the "da Vinci Code"

  • Da Vinci Code is a Jewish masterpiece!

  • i managed to watch 5 seconds

    

  • Hold on a second now, prof, you are introducing Fache and call him captain and lieutenant? Lieutenant was Mr. Collet. How prepared are you for your presentation, prof? hi hi hi

  • This could have been a very interesting video if the preacher were just a little bit objective, and if he had some understanding of the concept of "evidence". While the evidence may not establish Dan Brown thesis, there certainly is "evidence" supporting it. As an old trial attorney, I understand that using the same evidence Dr. Gasque cites to refute Brown's thesis, one could persuasively support most, if not all, of Brown's claims. This is just which theology one already believes.

  • @JB65625 Hard to believe you were once an attorney.

  • @JB65625 Hard to believe your an attorney.You make statments here without being specific about the evidence.

  • @Krandee159 assumption is the mother of all F* ups,why dont u get some commonsense and intellect. if u dont know what the hell is going on,then keep the F* out. instead u stick ur nose in something that u know nothing about. ur a loser and u need to get a life. its really pathetic. try doing that in the real world with real people and not online in the safety of ur home or hiding behind a pc and see how far u get. ur a total imbecile. ur insignificant,im done wasting time on u.discussion over!

  • "There is no evidence"

    It appears I am a direct descendant; but the evidence is sketchy. Did Henry VIII have illegitimate children with mistresses? Did Queen Elizabeth I have children? What is Christ Consciousness?

    ~~cc

  • this guy is so ridiculously bias it's unreal. the fact that he almost laughs everytime he brings up something that could potentially be true but goes against the bible totally discredits the whole thing. what's more likely - a man that lived a long time ago and had a relationship with a woman has a current bloodline, or that a child was born of a virgin, performed various magic tricks, then died and came back to life? think about it.

  • Does this seriously need a 1hour + lecture? It's friggin' fiction!

  • @turtle4aire you've obviously not read the book. Once u do you'll understand why it was an international bestseller and the f%cling awesomest book ever

  • All you have to do is to speak or write about anything that is anti-Christian and everybody wants to read about it. Write a book that confirms the Bible or Jesus and you will never sell a copy at all ! If you want to sell copies, write anything Anti-Christian and you will make a million dollars doing it !

    This fellow is Speaking of fiction every since he started and we are calling them Facts ! So Write anti-Christian stuff and you will be big in the Novel business !

  • @Krandee159 u inbecile! u obviously have no commonsense,daring to refer to someone as an idiot,and revealing just how stupid u r. i am not wrong,the guy says he read the book,open ur waxed-filled ears and listen.as for whether or not the guy is telling the truth about having read the book,well thats another matter and since neither u nor i have devine powers,we wouldnt know if he lied or not. so shut the f*ck up. and mofo is motherf*cker. have u been suffieciently informed?EIKEL!look the word up

  • The fact that Da Vinci Code is a fiction, or based on wrong interpretation of facts, doesn't mean that Bible is true.

  • What is this university of california? This university is not the UCLA one, right? UCLA must have chosen the speaker and theme carefully.

  • it was fiction just like the entir bible itself

  • @lafemmenaturalle i can understand that you dont beleave in the bibal but you shouldn't mess with others belifs because you dont like it so much you may have not ment it in a bad way but saying that so bluntly is rude and offencive even i question some of the things but i beleave there is a great evil so there must be a great good and people gave it a name called god and the other the devil i know you dont want to be lecured by a 15 year old girl but someone needed to tell you in my opinion

  • bloodline was jesus in the kia ,if there were living relabtievs woudlnt it be logicla ot say that they probabally brunt in the detah camps in ww2 ,also wodlnt be logicla ot assume that they woudl eb sacrcfeid bythe pagans or goevrmtn agencies as theya re now claled,,i cnat speel but i know his a dumb ass.point what point doctor of clap ups

  • @jetligang I suppose you short circuited the spell check? or do you feel more important when the computer automatically underlines your words in red?

  • Fiction. Dude who claimed to find the list with Davinci was the one that forged it. Was in National Geographic.

  • 1:14:58 he stat he read it !!

  • 1:12:48 "it was really fun to read and i stayed up late 2 nights to finish it " he read it ! ,

  • what code are the trying to crack.. u no about mona lisa and the last supper n all that.. what do they believe the code is for

  • @bitchsillyjimmy How to make the best crack.

  • @crispycrab ???????????????????

  • @bitchsillyjimmy The Mona Lisa is actually almost completely unrelated to the code itself. All the Mona Lisa supposedly says is that the left hand side (or, the FEMALE half) is bigger because women were divine, as in most pagan mythology. The Last supper is the important work to the code. Though, Da Vinci was a Renaissance painter and therefore not present during the Last Supper so it's only his interpretation.

  • u guys here are so f**king stupid! making all your comments about how dumb this guy is and saying he didnt read the book. he states very clearly he DID read the book multiple times and found it INTERESTING! nd duhh,ofcourse he didnt see the movie,cause at the time of this lecture it hadnt come out yet!!! why dont u dumb mofos open your ears and listen? you dumb shits!

  • man go fuck urself u didnt read the book even watched the movie:D:D u should watch it its amazing:D:D

    a big asshole:D

  • hhahahah this guy didnt read the book. he didnt even watch the movie:D:D: he is just a big an assHOLE:d A VERY BIG ASSHOLE::D:D:D:D:D

    go fuck ur self man

  • i watched it all lol!!!

  • why is he telling what happened in the book? i mean everyone read it there.... wtf

  • Search/watch Mona Lisa baby

  • this guy is an asshole!

    but what else can be expected from a theologian?

    believing in ghosts damages the brain seriously.

  • There has always been controversial novels about religion. Back in 1976, Robert Ludlum published 'The Gemini Contenders', about a secret that could have re-written the bible. But if that ever caused any uproar, I never heard about it. So long as it includes the disclaimer "This is a work of fiction. All characters mentioned...", just enjoy it for the entertainment that it is meant to be.

  • This idiot is calling Da Vinci somewhat a failure because he didn't finish everything he started comparing him to students who fail to get their degree ! incredible !

  • how can u make an interesting subject sooo boring

  • @oneball1982 Yeah, I was hoping for some hawt lingerie photos of Audrey Tautou ! rofl. Seriously, I would marry that actress. Awesome !

  • @oneball1982 It's not supposed to be entertainment, it's supposed to be education

  • @jared201345 He finds it interesting, are you trying to make something educational boring, fuck me.

  • @oneball1982 Sure... Dan Brown is an idiot, the "Da Vinci Code" is completely fictional. And anyone who takes it as factual is a moron. And thats it... all put simply.

  • The Da VInci code aside, what's the thing with not wanting to even THINK of that Jesus had a girlfriend? Could not an inlightened have a partner while living in this world? I call it supression of women and of human sexuality. And Jesus' mother HAD to be a virgin, right...

  • @Prissie28 Just one Scripture and a little common sense settles it: Revelation 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

    How could undefiled men follow a defiled Lamb (Jesus)? Had Jesus been defiled, he could not have atoned for sin; his blood sacrifice would have been impure and not acceptable to God. Real simple.

  • who watched the whole thing

  • Dan Brown publishd his book as fiction. Yes he claims in da first pages of his book dat the priory of sion exists n daT da art descriptions are accurate but den again it's part of the book, part of the story meaning he didn't really clarified that its completely true cuz he published it as fiction, so its upto the reader to believe it or not. dan brown is just wise to include it to make the story interesting and intrriguing. DR. GASQUE WHY DON'T YOU READ THE BOOK AND JUST ENJOY THE THRILL :)

  • not read the book but, saw on tv someone commenting that in places it looks like dan brown has copied descriptions straight from tourist guides and the guy on tv sited this as terrible. i think its genius as it blurs the barriers of the real and factual with the fantasy of the narrative.

  • what should i bieleve and what i should´t when even there are religions that see to jesus chrits as a false prophet and heretic so first you have to probe that jesus in fact exist

  • This guy sucks at french...

  • @RMimz He sucks at English too.... all those weird pauses!

  • I think he is an Alien pretending to be human, but he hasn't quite got the hang of it yet.

  • she wasn't done talking at the end :)

  • Man this guy is boring.

  • @valdes1978 Yeah, he is undoubtedly boring. No reliable proof of the Da Vinci Code story either.

  • Dan Brown's book was entyerly fictional, But based on an account that was entyerly fraudulous

  • As a whole, the Pentagram can be drawn 2 different ways, according to the order of which point you start at and which direction you move from that point. These 2 meanings are Invoking or Banishing. Although the Inverted Pentagram is technically a religious symbol, it is looked down upon in the Wiccan Practice, seen as representing chaos. This version was adapted by the founder of the Church of Satan in San Francisco, Anton Szandor La Vey. This should not show that Pagans and Satanists are alike.

  • @ 14:00 , I just need to point out, as a member of the Pagan / Wiccan practice, the Pentagram is in no politically correct way taken as a symbol of Satanism. It is a symbol that represents the 4 main elements, Earth at the Lower Left, Fire at the Lower Right, Water at the Upper Right, and Air at the Upper Left, along with Spirit at the top point, encased in a circle that represents unity in which all the points touch it.

  • this is an incredible waste of time, the guy speaks a lot but says nothing.

  • Dan Brown isn't an awful writer. He just writes fictional novels that keeps people really attached to his books. One must take note that only those who are uneducated in religous history beleive what the book says, but other then that, many know its fiction.

  • At best, TDC is third-rate airport fiction.

  • The Da Vinci Code is just a novel - it's just so masterly written, that you have to belive it. But still it is just a novel...

  • I love the book, people have different opinions anyway. But I dont think Dan Brown is an awful writer, he has the ability of making people interested in the story, and wanting more of it. Why do all writers have to be the next Hemmingway? People who dont understand or like something usally are the ones who mock..

  • Funny that the speaker doesn't mention (at 1:00:13) a third and much more relevant book that the DVC is based on- "The Templar Revelation" or the good time it has been to see religious zealots quaking in their boots. Oh yeah, that's right. He's one also.

  • Partial list of the side effects of the opiate of the people (religion)-

    1.)  Unquestioning submission to authority

    2.) Acceptance of privileged classes (ie; trickle down economics also known as plutocracy)

    3.) Isolation or fear of isolation for rejecting unproven notions

    4.) The idea that all problems can have pre-mandated solutions

    5.) Faith in miracles rather than personal ability

    6.) Encouragement to engage in childish magical thinking

    7.) Dismissal of logical thinking

  • there's a reason The da vinci code is always under the "fiction" section...

  • @PerezUzzah well, if he would have written like an English scholar he wouldn't have sold millions of copies. You could mock his writing skills but not his ability to understand what people want and make money out of it. He is no Hemingway, but its still entertaining to read the book.

  • @PerezUzzah I can't reply on your comment because I didn't read the book

  • @PerezUzzah I can't reply on your comment because I didn't see the movie

  • @PerezUzzah

    I liked the book, I accept it is fiction but I personaly think it is a good book.

  • @PerezUzzah Just because you disagree with his ideas doesn't make him a bad writer.

  • @PerezUzzah Call him a bad writer after you've written a better book.

  • i agree wid u

  • @PerezUzzah Dan Brown is one of the greatest writers in history and he wrote the greatest selling books of all time. Have you read any of his books or are you like the guy in this video?

  • @PerezUzzah

    "his ability to convey thought......"------hes not writing a philosophy book you know. if he had, he wouldnt have sold as much books. the DVC is fiction, and theres an obvious reason. one thing is to criticize his writing, one thing is to criticize his ideas. there is facts in the dvc, they just need to be extracted from all the fiction, which is also present. you cant refute all of it, to do so is self defeating. maybe his writing doesnt appeal to you because youre against it.

  • what a piss artist,

  • Wow, just watched this movie on Big Movie Dir . com - incredible!

  • Its real

  • really? fact or fiction? how about fiction or fiction?

  • @ahgaming fact

  • The only thing stupid about this video is most of the comments. Reality check: 1. Not even the most anti-Christian scholars consider the Bible "fiction" like the Da Vinci Cod is. It's filled with history. 2. "Da Vinci" isn't even a last name. It means "from Vinci". Dan Brown messed up there. 3. The theories about Jesus and the Bible in the novel are easily and often debunked, by pretty much every smart person.

  • @ReBirthTV1 Read The Lost Symbol it has more stuff about how certain people think about the bible. Its not against the bible actually you will find that it is for the bible just not like most christians see it.

  • wow lighten up and learn something without biggetry and argumentative egotism

  • @drlarouche its spelled biggotry.

  • @XxBLaCk0uTxX sorry. its spelled bigotry not biggotry.

  • please encourage free thought and think about free writing and possibilties academic or not. this guy is a frigin biggit speaking in california of all places to furthur his career in current events. he lives on a @#$@ing island

  • Why would we care if he lives in an island

  • zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzz

  • @MrElninoo9 Boy you weren't kidding.

  • Dull

  • Dan brown is a freemason aka knight templar ..

    world find out about the freemasons and you will learn what is realy going on in this world ..

  • I have read The DaVinci code in fact its one of my fave books and films......some might say im sad but so what? I believe its no more than a good thriller/piece of fiction, very entertaining, if there was a living bloodline of Christ today I think we would have discovered it by now or if there were any hidden treasures or holy cups. I just laugh at these so called academics who think they know it all but have not even bothred to read the book of which they so freely critisize, pathetic.

  • Well I'm not saying the DaVinci code is fiction or not, but if there was a living bloodline of Christ, I doubt we would ever know, and it would be highly possible that the person themselves woudln't know, and there are still a lot of hidden treasures out there, the world's a big place, the dead sea scrolls were only discovered 50yrs ago and they were written over 2000 years ago.

  • I thought it was quite good tho. Hmm

  • the last commnt that Dr Gasque makes is more interesting than the rest of the lecture put together

  • I have yet to finish this video, but what I have seen thus far ... it looks to be a level headed review of the gospel according to Saint Brown. I'm going to give Dr. Gasque the benefit of a doubt ... and assume that he has read Brown's book from cover to cover. And the Dr. seems to have a very good grasp of the Bible. I wonder if Dan has ever bothered to read the Bible ... cover to cover. Of course, "Mother Earth" may not approval of such a waste of time.

  • This was so painful to watch. Dr. Gasque really embarrasses himself throughout. He sounds like a bumbling third grader trying to give an oral book report. This farce of a "lecture" includes sweeping generalizations, superfluous plot summary, poor poise, unfounded or unsuported claims throughout, lack of evidence, blatantly inaccurate information . . . the list goes on and on. A professor might use this in an introductory Communication class to show students everything NOT to do! Really sad.

  • He did not read the book. What a laugh this guy!

  • This guy is full of crap , he clearly hasent read the book, and yet he has balls to criticize Dan Brown.See - on this bitch .!.

  • He hasn't read the book. Some details about the story are different...

  • has anyone actualy realy wached the hole video

  • i did

    dont ask me why

  • I doubt it.

  • its priory of si-on not see-on

  • @guitarMetal911 In spanish it's pronounced See-on... I don't know how it's pronounced in the original language though... my point is that maybe ur wrong, as ur instinct is to say it in a familiar pronountiation

  • in french (the original language) its See-oh.

  • ok, by six mins in I am already frustrated by his pronunciation of the French names.....

  • Also, thanks to D.B. they sold even more copies! I bought one out of curiosity.

  • Im sorry, but if you havent read the book, why would you care about this lecture? Also, Dr. Gasque should have taken the time to learn how to pronounce key words which appear often.
