During the nuclear age, humankind's collective existence was under the constant threat of unfathomable power, consequently presenting not only humankind's frailty but also the uselessness of their position. What distinguishes this network from others is its outlandish stance on the most common of moral questions, Vonnegut juxtaposes science with religion and accordingly he characterizes science as a form of discovering truths while characterizing religion as a form of creating lies. Vonnegut utilizes this eccentric point of view as a springboard for other motifs, for instance, the futility of human pursuit,…

    The Existence of God This argument about the existence of God, better known as the cosmological argument, begins with the late philosopher Aristotle. Similar to a modern day natural scientist, he believed that we could ascertain more about the world and the very fundamental nature of things within our world just by observing and recording.
