Read 2 times. Last read May 31, 2023 to June 7, 2023.
The battle between Science and religion is a fascinating topic to read. The danger with this topic is that it might affect the religious sentiments of a few readers.
The author succeeds in getting us glued to the story, which is pretty interesting to read. But there are a lot of twists in it, and the last few are more cinematic than realistic to convince those believing in Science. It should have been written in a better way.
My favorite three lines from this book.
Robert Langdon still is a character that always fascinates us, and he doesn’t disappoint us in this book.

My favorite three lines from this book.
“Fear cripples faster than any implement of war.”
“Science and religion are not at odds. Science is simply too young to understand.”
“Genius accepts genius unconditionally”

(Other Paperback Edition)
The first part is easy enough to accept, The second falls apart when you know how hard various religions have worked to suppress science.
Dan Brown tends to center on the Catholic Church,
Around 415 Hypatia a woman Neoplatonist philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician was cruelly slaughtered by a by a Christian mob,
Around 1553 Michael Servetus was burned at the stake in Geneva, Switzerland. He was the first European to correctly describe blood circulation between the heart and lungs. i
Pronounced a heretic by Protestant and Catholic Churches, because he denied the Trinity and he objected to the baptism of infants".
1610 brings us to what is called The Galileo affair, certainly less fatal, but hardly the way to encourage the young.
I have heard of individual scientists expressing less than supportive opinions about this or that religious person, but the history of clericals immolated or placed into "villa arrest" for their refusal to accept anything in science is well, you tell me.
