All of it, his talents came from his creator, another belief Newton understood.

Quote:Love, compassion, hope, comfort, reading of the scriptures to those who want it, all highly effect medicines, those same things my wife as a nurse uses to help people to recover.

-said no competent surgeon, ever.  

I doubt that their reputation in providing medicine has anything at all to do with reading people fairytales by the bedside.

I know a top flight heart surgeon who prays for his patients. I have a friend who worked in surgery with a surgeon who prayed before every surgery, and knowing Adventist as I do they all pray before surgery. My wife read scripture to anyone who asked, she also prayed with them and you can bet she gave them the love, compassion and comfort they needed. She was a good nurse that worked in a critical care unit where most people did not leave, alive.

The Bible is not a history book, though there is history that can be gathered from it.

Bottom line, the fact that he was a Christian, means absolutely nothing when it comes to scientific discoveries. The fact that he may have claimed his work was in any way inspired by his supernatural god beliefs, says nothing about whether that claim is actually true.

His discoveries would be just as valid if he was a Hindu.

If he had been a Hindu it might have been a long time before God revealed what he revealed through Newton.

Dude...every Hindu out there should kick the shit out of your bigoted ass.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
