Diderot was informed that a learned mathematician had produced a proof of the existence of God: he agreed to view the proof as it was presented in court.
Diderot kemudian diberitahu bahwa seorang matematikawan terpelajar telah memproduksi bukti mengenai keberadaan Tuhan: Diderot bersedia untuk menyaksikan bukti tersebut, yang dipresentasikan dalam suatu sidang.
