Description

This image does not showcase a diagram, rather just a piece of the text. However, this does not diminish the importance of this excerpt. Here the author clearly states that the power given to animals is given by God, as if that is an indisputable, scientific fact. Additionally, the author claims that power and force are interchangeable. They are definitely not interchangeable and are two very different ideas in modern physics. This passage shows the change of physics as a field over the years as well as the sentiments of scientists towards religion.
