This document appears to be page 13 of an academic text or essay included in House Oversight Committee files (stamped HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_013513). The text explores the historical intersection of mathematics, physics, and theology, citing figures like Descartes, Newton, and Euler who maintained religious beliefs alongside their scientific work. It contrasts this with the later shift toward 'operationalism' and the separation of mechanics from theology, highlighted by Ernst Mach and Bridgeman.
