Blah blah blah blahsphemy. This is a completely predictable potboiler. As for all the hooplah about the anti-Christian sentiments...well, it's anti-fundamentalist Christian, sure. I certainly have no problem with that.
The scarier concept is the idea of creating a new religion out of science. I was amazed that none of the "scientists" in the novel were the least bit perturbed at this concept. Umm, duh, the minute science becomes religion, IT IS NO LONGER SCIENCE!
Science as religion...now that's frightening. More frightening than the lame-o plot of this ho hum thriller.
