Is there a god of the universe? is an age-old question that isn’t yet answered satisfactorily. A NASA scientist specializing in artificial intelligence, Dr. Ladislaw adores his mother for her high principles, and she adores her illustrious son. Her torture and death from cancer leaves him heartbroken. Why is there such suffering if there is a god? This other question drives him to deny creation and embrace evolution. Going beyond denial he decides to prove god doesn’t exist by making a robot indistinguishable from humans. He succeeds, and the age-old question is answered for him from a surprising source.
