    just to steer this heated fiction vs. fact debate to a different direction... they apparently read the mayan calendar wrong, and the world will end in 2060, not 2012... which coincides with some research of the Bible done by Isaac Newton.

    but then surely you wouldnt mind finding a second source that backs up your claims, alas i think you have mistook a pseudo-fact for fact.

    The word 'apocalypse' comes from the greek word 'apokalupto' which means:
    1) to uncover, lay open what has been veiled or covered up
    1a) disclose, make bare
    2) to make known, make manifest, disclose what before was unknown

    This proves my point ;)
    "Because the apocalypse doesn't literally mean the end of the world, but the end of the world as we know it.
    Because humanity will reach an enlightenment."
    And this is what Dan Brown states.

    Btw people, sorry if this is disrupting the whole actual conversation, but I am trying to defend my view of what the 'apocalypse' really is.

    or is it? the only thing that is garenteed 100% to happen is death
    well 3 years to find out but im on the side thats saying it won't happen. basically im in denial
    and that new movie 2012 looks good. all the the island just sink into the ocean

    Ugh, that movie looks abysmal, of course it'll sell because most people buy into the 2012 end of the world thing or know about it. I'd rather watch anything else besides John Cussack run away in a car/plane/on foot from a natural disaster.

    SIGH! I asked for a second source, not what the first source again.. Dan Brown is a fiction writer... everything he states is made up. Opus Dei do not employ cool albino assasins, the pope was not assasinated by his sometimes italian/sometimes irish son, the holy grail is not some womans fanny, the hadron colider doesnt create dark matter... because guess what? IT DOESN'T FUCKING WORK.

    You don't get it,
    Not everything Dan Brown writes is fiction
    and I did give a second source you moron.

    "The word 'apocalypse' comes from the greek word 'apokalupto' which means:
    1) to uncover, lay open what has been veiled or covered up
    1a) disclose, make bare
    2) to make known, make manifest, disclose what before was unknown "

    I got that off the internet which supports what Dan Brown states from his book the Lost Symbol.

    The artwork pieces, locations, organisations, theories, facts and equipment are ALL real.
    Not the plot or characters.

    You're basically saying that Washington DC is fiction, that the 'Last Supper' by DaVinci is fiction, that the Freemasons are fiction.

    * Digital Fortress, 1998
    * Angels & Demons, 2000
    * Deception Point, 2001
    * The Da Vinci Code, 2003
    * The Lost Symbol, 2009

    yeah, you're right. they are all factual books. just because his books contain elements of facts doesnt mean that they are, because he couldnt possibly be using those facts as story telling devices could he?

    at the end of the day, Dan Brown is a talentless writer who's ideas are arguably not his own. his books barely contain any form of a plot other than Robert Langdon finds mystery, a couple of extremley unlikely coincidences later and Robert Langdon solves mystery.

    We could of spared this whole argument if you had just posted the quote from the internet, because quite frankly Dan Brown is as reliable as the local drunk.
