Default Re: Elaborating On Accepting Scientist\'s Unbelief

The simple fact that Newton is still a devout Christian shouldn't have any affect on how you feel or even logicly analyze the intellectual reality of Christianity.

If Newton were to put forth some work or at least logical process regarding Christianity, then this could be considered.

However, simply altering your beliefs because someone smart has a differing opinion is ridiculous.
While if you generally respect and agree with someone intellectualy, it might behoove you to reevaluate your stance on a subject due to their dissent. It doesn't mean that their dissent in and of itself should reflect on your belief.
