Granted...he was a man of his time. Just imagine if he'd devoted his later life to real science, though.

Why do moderns demand so much from geniuses of the past?

The mention of “real Science” reminded me of a verse in 1 Timothy 6:20 that refers to: “avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called.”

Also I am reminded of: “He is no fool who gives up that which he cannot keep, to gain that which he cannot lose.”
(Jim Elliot, one of the five missionaries killed in 1956)

I must believe Sir Issac Newton was that kind of scientist and christian!
