So far you have invoked Newton's religious views and his intelligence, as though one was a function of the other (was he religious because he was smart or did his religiosity make him smart?). Now you seem to have dropped the religious shoe in favour of emphasising his intelligence, on which we all agree. I fail to see the point you're trying to make.
I apologise for the tangle of metaphors.
I'm trying to say intelligence and religion are not directly connected.
Sure they are. An inverse relation has been demonstrated but you are free to dispute the results if you want to.
Might look that up later. I'd definitely have to see a valid study or two.
You might? As I thought, you "might" choose to remain ignorant.
