Blasphemy is a good title for a Douglas Preston's latest novel. Travesty would have also worked. Or Annoy the Reader.
The premise is a group of scientists has built a computer that can duplicate the Big Bang theory and thereby disprove the Biblical view of creation. That in turn upsets Christian fundamentalists, and the government, fearing loss of votes, gets involved. Actually all that produces some interesting conflicts until the reader learns it's all a con, devised by a scientist whose hero is L. Ron Hubbard.
My advice? Do not read this book, not even if you're promised a trip around GO, $200 and a get-out-of-jail free card.
