RE: Why was Newton a theist?

What we're saying is that people can be highly intelligent, even brilliant, in spite of having certain superstitions or mental blind spots.

Take me for example. I'm a fucking idiot, and I'm not superstitious at all. I walk into door frames a lot. Sometimes it's even an accident.

What I'm trying to say here (and I'm being really careful to be patronizing) is that people who carry anvils around can still climb ladders, if they're prepared to put the anvil down for a bit.
Feel free to send me a private message.
