So if truth must be found, how can we find or intuit it?  Instances of beauty are often where the truth seems to suddenly flash upon our mind.  The surprise, wonder, and amazement that we see in the world when nature is compelling or breath-taking are shared experiences for all mankind.

But what “causes” this beauty for us?  Why do these moments happen?  Do they lead us to something, or do they lack a purpose?  Both Hitchens and Wilson agree that beauty exists, but where it leads is a point of debate.
