Default Re: That one dang genius who believes?

It's not as if Newton existed as a caveman in the stone age of thousands of years past. I'm sure Newton was exposed to many of the same 'secular' arguments that Sklansky finds incontrovertible, yet was not convinced. Despite Newton's brilliance in physics, he still at the same time believed in the existence of supernatural and the possibility and even past occurrence of miracles.

If Newton was alive now and was STILL a religious Christian, I would significantly alter my personal assessment about whether I thought Christianity is true.

It's highly likely he was no more a Christian than Blair or Bush.

No guy that intelligent and connected would be a Christian. Although I'm sure that would be his public image.
