Angels & Demons: Connections

In the novel, Angels & Demons, by Dan Brown, I have noticed that the author makes very important connections to the world. Dan Brown clearly expresses through his work, different ideas and concepts of religion, science, and how the world began. These ideas are connected to society, because just like people in our world, characters in the book believe in different ideas of how the world started. For instance, the biggest idea about religion and science the author describes, is that of Leonardo Vetra's. This idea is that religion and science are actually closely related, and both prove the same concept of how the world came to be. Basically, Vetra believes that science proves God's existence. This idea is very unlike what other characters in the book thought. Most characters in the novel believed in a different idea of how the world came to be. These ideas were either religious or scientific, but definitely not both. Just like in society, different people in the novel believe in the big bang theory, God, evolution and unique ideas like that of Leonardo Vetra's. This is why this book closely relates to our world today.
