Kaneez's 1st reflection

Isaac Netwon was a man of God. Funny how the most scientific men are the most religious because people always percieve them as coming from two opposite poles, always science vs. religion. Either you belive in God as the cause of it all or you believe solely that science is the source of it all (not God). Newton was an intelligent man who saw, as implied in the book, that though "God was the cause of it all" science explained, for our human minds, God's creations. He strongly believed in God, and didn't think He was some faroff entity than remained in some other world bur rather resided in His creations. I think that because he was a religious man, he had high morale, thus remaining humble his entire life (he had the oppertunity to rule Israel!). I was fascinated at how religion, politics, and science go together, which is another example that proves in reality, that everything is relative.
