TIL Isaac Newton Was Deeply Religious. He Is Generally Considered An Anti-Trinitarian Monotheist By Historians, And Was Considered To Be A Heretic Due To His Belief That Worshipping Jesus As God Was Unholy. He Also Made Numerous Studies Of The Bible, Which Supported The Doctrine Of Immanence.

And he was an alchemist an astrologer, and mathematician and scientist and theologian. Because back then, there was no divide between science and religion.
Newton believed that God had created the world, and the study of the world was the study of God.
In regards to his discovery of gravity: “So then gravity may put the planets into motion, but without the Divine Power it could never put them into such a circulating motion, as they have about the sun”.
Hence 7 colors in the rainbow.
He also famously “died a virgin”. Which, to me, is just shorthand for “probably gay”
And he was the first person known to have discovered calculus, but he was not the last.
Newton is a loser who got his shit rocked by leibniz.
The second law of thermodynamics is unconstitutional!
He was also a raging arsehole who used his influence with the royal society to discredit and harass scientists he disagreed with.
Not surprising given the man died a virgin.
I also think worshipping Jesus is rediculous and these days a sign of cult like brain washing. I believe in God, pay, meditate, the whole thing, but I think the Jesus focus is misguided. It removes you from your own relationship with God. I didn’t know there was a name for this, anti trinitarian. Very cool.
