He tells the audience that it has taken ten years to translate this "introduction to the DNA" or "first level" but that subsequent translations should now be much faster. His theory is so weakly supported that, although he was forced to pad it out ad nauseam to fill up time and to make it seem a substantial theory, he was also forced to rush through the little he had. In and around page 83, he does explain the order and how he derived alchemy's Fire, Air, Water, Earth to equate to Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Carbon, respectively. But is this statistic really accurate? D.F. 25 Jun 08. Also, the 1st letter of the Hebrew Alphabet is actually alep.

They bridge the worlds of science, spirituality and personal growth together in a way few authors can do … Just in case there are doubters in the audience thinking along these lines, Braden then makes the point that the chance of getting this by accident is 1 in 234,256… a figure calculated by "a statistician at the University of Los Angeles." I’ve been studying Gregg’s work for a half decade, and have read nearly all of his books. Phosphorus is the only element of the five that make up DNS that can only exist in solid form, so in my opinion it truly represents Earth. Given the context in which he presents himself and his ideas, it is very obvious that his basic message is: "What I am presenting is scientific.

I first heard of Gregg Braden when he published his book, Awakening to Zero Point back in 1995. We share many of the same observations. On page 46 Braden states that Noah's Arc has been conclusively been discovered on mount Ararat, which is not the case (yet); and on page 16 Braden states that Pioneer 10 is 11 light years away and therefore a signal takes 11 hours to reach it.

Gregg Braden (June 28, 1954–) is an American crank, woo -meister, and New Age fantasy literature author. Richard wrote an excellent scientific critique of Gregg's book Awakening to Zero Point which is worth a read because it clearly shows the shortcomings of the "science" Gregg is basing his work on. But his next step is to say that code is literally translatable into Hebrew! His actual lecture, outside the videos, is supported by a slick Power Point presentation, and mixes genuine science with pseudoscience in a way in which the authority of the former all too easily rubs off on the latter.

But Braden seems caught up in the role of a scientific New Age prophet, and he is now compelled to dredge up pseudoscience if no real science is there to back up his claims. But he just seems to be one big scientific charlatan :-(. Braden's next book, Walking Between The Worlds, explored the science of compassion, emotion and prayer, relating to 2000 years old Essene texts. is a Bible scholar and academic who has written the following: I sat in on part of his lecture on The God Code, but had to leave because I couldn't control my laughter.

This is entirely possible and maybe even probable (the fact that "junk" DNA has been found to have a grammatical structure certainly supports this possibility). But how does he cover up the lack of scientific or logical justification for his assertion of DNA being a transcript of the Hebrew alphabet? To myself and to many others interested in New Age spirituality and science, this book was a revelation — one of the most exciting contemporary books on spirituality and our collective destiny to have been published. Gregg Braden Religion. Ex. In the process of this scientific charade, he not only damages his own former works, but also the credibility of genuine frontier science so excellently reported by authors such as Lynne McTaggart, Rupert Sheldrake and Michael Talbot, who have a genuine understanding of what science is and what it can and cannot justify. to reveal to you now.
