He got to biology / He invoked God

Hi friends, can you please explain what it means once one says "He got to biology"? to what imply the "got to"? That's very unclear to me.

My second question here is what is to invoke God? Many thanks

Christiaan Huygens in a book called "Cosmo theless"... one of the most brilliant scientists of the day. He wrote about the planets and moons laws, and then he got to biology and didn't quite understand why there was life and then he invoked God in all the places where he didn't understand what he was talking about.
