This single mover is very powerful, since it directs so vast and
complex a machine. It is very intelligent, since the smallest spring
of this machine cannot be equalled by us, who are intelligent beings.
It is a necessary being, since without it the machine would not
exist.
It is eternal, for it cannot be produced from nothing, which, being
nothing, can produce nothing; given the existence of something, it
is demonstrated that something has existed for all eternity. This
sublime truth has become trivial. So great has been the advance of
the human mind in our time, in spite of the efforts to brutalise us
which the masters of ignorance have made for so many centuries.
