For this reason we forbid anyone from this time forward to dare, either by words or by deeds, to receive, defend, sustain, or favor the said Martin Luther. On the contrary, we want him to be apprehended and punished as a notorious heretic, as he deserves, to be brought personally before us, or to be securely guarded until those who have captured him inform us, whereupon we will order the appropriate manner of proceeding against the said Luther. Those who will help in his capture will be rewarded generously for their good work.

Newton’s Laws of Motion
1st Law – An object at rest will stay at rest, and an
object in motion will stay in motion at constant
velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
2nd Law – Force equals mass times acceleration.
3rd Law – For every action there is an equal and
opposite reaction.
The universe could be explained completely through the use of mathematics; mathematical models of the universe were accurate physical descriptions of the universe.
The universe operated in a completely rational and predictable way following the mathematics used to describe the universe; the universe, then, was mechanistic.
One need not appeal to revealed religion or theology to explain any aspect of the physical phenomena of the universe
