CHAPTER

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation and Its Philosophical Implications

The chapter delves into Newton's law of universal gravitation and its transcendent nature, discussing the philosophical implications of understanding science and magic within the divine order. It contrasts Newton's deeply religious perspective on the universe's architecture with C.S. Lewis's view of magic and science as twins rebelling against the divine order. The conversation expands to explore the perspectives of various philosophers and physicists, investigating the connections between natural laws, divine origin, and the challenges faced by materialists in explaining phenomena beyond material processes.
