What reading level is Naturalism And Agnosticism: the Gifford Lectures Delivered Before the ... 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is, I fear, something circular in Maxwell's arguments for these two positions. On the one hand the ingenerability and immutability seem to be used in proof of the qualitative and quantitative identity ; although, on the other, this very identity had served as an argument for that everlasting constancy which in turn it now helps to prove. Nay, his argu- ment seems even weaker than that, > for he takes for granted that the persistence which he asserts for his normal molecules would belong a...lso to abnormal ones, if any such there were. And so, assuming the exact equality of all the individual molecules of hydrogen, etc., within the range of our experience, he asks where can the eliminated molecules have gone to ? He then proceeds : " The time required to eliminate from the whole of the visible universe every molecule whose mass differs from that of some of our so-called elements, by processes similar to Graham's method of dialysis, which is the only method we can conceive of at present, would exceed the utmost limits ever demanded by evolution- ists as many times as these exceed the period of vibra- tion of a molecule." But surely it is quite gratuitous save that the result is not supposed to be due to wear and tear.
