FindEx.com, Inc. (OTC BB: FIND), a leading software provider for Bible study through its QuickVerse brand, and financial and data management for churches and non-profit organizations through its Membership Plus brand, today released the results of an online survey of United States based pastors, Bible study leaders and Biblical scholars focusing on the impact that "The DaVinci Code" controversy has had on Christianity.

FindEx, whose Bible study software product QuickVerse has sold over one million copies, conducted the online survey with the assistance of Key Survey between May 16 and 18, 2006, polling registered users of QuickVerse Platinum Edition, the company's most expensive ($599.00) and extensive Bible study software program, and receiving almost 600 total responses, including 220 responses from pastors alone. Users of QuickVerse Platinum Edition tend to include pastors, Bible study leaders and Biblical scholars across a number of Christian denominations including Assembly of God, Baptist, Southern Baptist, Catholic, Church of Christ, Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, as well as Christian nondenominational.

A synopsis of the survey results reveals the following:

"What was most surprising of the survey's results was that only 41% of the sampling have used 'The DaVinci Code' as a subject in a sermon or Bible study session, but 80% believe that this movie offers a positive opportunity to talk about faith in their community," noted Steve Malone, President and CEO, Findex.com. "We believe that the media attention the movie is receiving will increase interest in Christianity among both current and new believers of the Bible, and offer an opportunity for discussion at all levels, including families, in order to further understand and gain knowledge of the Bible and the life of Christ."
