Re: Rational deference to those more likely to be right
If Newton was a Christian now, the presumption is made that he would be able to logically refute any argument against his stance that I could think of (to the satisfaction of professional logicians). Also I presume that he wouldn't become a Christian unless he was sure he could do that.
If in fact he did not require this degree of certainty or even if he did, but was not one of the smartest men who ever lived, then him being Christian would have almost no impact on my beliefs.
