Who has gone into the heavens to receive a kingdom, and prepare a place for us, and is next in dignity to God, and may be worshiped as the Lamb of God, and has sent the Holy Ghost to comfort us in his absence, and will at length return and reign over us." "God made and governs the world invisibly, and has commanded us to love and worship him, and no other God to honor our parents and masters, and love our neighbors as ourselves and to be temperate, just, and peaceable, and to be merciful even to brute beasts.Īnd by the same power by which he gave life at first to every species of animals, he is able to revive the dead, and has revived Jesus Christ our Redeemer, Memoirs of the Life, Writings, and Discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton by Sir David Brewster (Edinburgh, Thomas Constable and Co., 1855, Vol. He is eternal and infinite, omnipotent and omniscient that is, His duration reaches from eternity to eternity His presence from infinity to infinity He governs all things, and knows all things that are or can be done." "From His true dominion it follows that the true God is a living, intelligent and powerful Being and from His other perfections, that He is supreme, or most perfect. And if he did so, it's unphilosophical to seek for any other origin of the world, or to pretend that it might arise out of a chaos by the mere laws of nature though being once formed, it may continue by those laws for many ages." "Now by the help of these principles, all material things seem to have been composed of the hard and solid particles, above-mentioned, variously associated in the first creation by the counsel of an intelligent agent.įor it became him who created them to set them in order. Optics, or, a Treatise of the Reflections, Refractions, Inflexions and Colours of Light (1704, London, 1730, 4th edition, quoted in Sullivan, p.125-126): The supreme God exists necessarily, and by the same necessity He exists always and everywhere." This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all and on account of His dominion He is wont to be called 'Lord God'. Īll variety of created objects which represent order and life in the universe could happen only by the willful reasoning of its original Creator, whom I call the 'Lord God'. "This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being. Newton wrote one of the most important scientific books ever, Sir Issac Newton became the President of the Royal Society, and served in that position until his death. He laid the foundation for the great law of energy conservation and developed the particle theory of light propagation. Newton demonstrated that a beam of light contained all the colors of the rainbow. He constructed one of the first practical reflecting telescope. Newton was given the position of Master of the Mint, 1699, and in 1701, entered Parliament. He was honored to occupy the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics, 1669, and was elected Fellow of the Royal Society, 1672. Newton moved to Woolsthorp, Lincolnshire. Newton was a discoverer of calculus and helped develop it into a comprehensive branch of mathematics. Sir Isaac Newton became a mathematician and a natural philosopher, discovering the laws of universal gravitation and formulating the three laws of motion, which aided in advancement of the discipline of dynamics.

He was sent off to grammar school and later went to Trinity College, Cambridge, 1661. His mother was widowed twice, resulting in him being raised by his grandmother. Sir Isaac Newton is known to be the best scientist ever,Įven the best scientists would praise him of his work.Sir Isaac Newton was born in 1642, the same year Galileo died. Isaac actually did more than just calculate the date of Crucifixion and theĬoming Apocalypse, his obsession was trying to find hidden meanings in theīible. Isaac learnt Hebrew, spent half his life and devoted much moreĤ. Whether that Isaac is right or wrong about the end of the world, consider another one of his studys of the bible that came true:Į.g. Isaac calculated the date of theĬrucifixion of Jesus Christ as April 3rd, A.D. The Bible was Sir Isaac’s greatest passion, he wrote more about religion When he was 17, his mum insisted Isaac that when he returned from school he would have to run the family farm. But Isaac was a very bad farmer and not long afterwards, his uncle successfully persuaded his mum to let him attend Trinity College in Cambridge instead.ģ.

His mother even said that Isaac was so small that he could fit inside a quart mug. Isaac was named after his father, who died just three months before he was born, Isaac was a very small baby boy and was not expected to survive. In 1642, Isaac Newton was born prematurely on Christmas Day.
