"The Davinci Code is not revisionist history any more than Star Wars is. It's a fictional thriller. It's a novel. Fiction. The very word FICTION defines it as NOT BEING TRUE."

Well, you know how it is. People get very upset when one piece of fiction isn't consistent with another piece of fiction but covers the same ground, especially when the newer work isn't fully authorized.

I can understand their concern - will newly published works now have to be marked as being in the older, Classic Biblical Universe, or the newer Expanded Biblical Universe?
