Brown made the remark at the Frankfurt Book Fair where he was promoting his new novel, "Origin", the fifth outing for Harvard "symbology" professor Robert Langdon, the protagonist of "The Da Vinci Code", a book that questioned the history of Christianity.
"Origin" was inspired by the question "Will God survive science?", said Brown, adding that this had never happened in the history of humanity.
"Are we naive today to believe that the gods of the present will survive and be here in a hundred years?" Brown, 53, told a packed news conference." Yahoo

and the scorners delight in their scorning,
and fools hate knowledge?
