You can literally see and hear it , you could even touch it briefly if you like.

The irony of this page ending with a bible verse that specifically references lightning …

I mean, this obviously has to be satire, as lightings are pretty much visible electricity

The contents of the rest of the page generates lots of questions and continually proposed that electricity is just a fluke and there’s no understanding of how or why. But the article was written by either an idiot or a liar because the reasons are known. Nuclear reactors are purpose built to make electricity. It’s safe to say that the vast amount of electricity on the planet at any given time is manmade and deliberate.

The formatting of the page is familiar to all of us because it’s a common layout: ask questions, intrigue the reader, then show how a thing works to answer those questions. The Bible verse at the end is the button line that connects it all - it’s the thing that’s standing up the whole line that the page is describing. Electricity is simple and understandable but this textbook makes it out to be magic and then finishes the page by talking about a time when skydaddy make magic too.

The entire thing is disingenuous and if you aren’t able to see that then you are either trying to sell people on sky daddy or you don’t know how page educational literature works.

Yeah but we literally know what lightning is, why it happens, etc. I’m no electrical engineer but I can tell you 90% of not only what electricity is but how it comes out of the walls.
