***

In this part, Thomas Paine discusses the structure of the Universe consisting of solar systems of planets around the stars. At the end of this section he discusses the inherent logical weakness of the "pious fraud"

He also identifies three elements of a false belief system:
1- mystery
2- miracles
3- prophecy
