Science: Issac Newton's Tehological Papers

A collection of religious papers authored by Sir Issac Newton has now gone on public display. For those who seek to assert that a man of science must be a strict materialist, the papers clearly show that it was not so with Newton who was a strong believer in Christianity. Regardless of the fact that Newton lived 300 years ago, his life proves that a belief in religion hardly stands in the way of scientific inquiry. Newton is perhaps the most prolific scientist in history (go read up on his accomplishments if you are unsure) which goes to show that a desire to discover how God's universe works is just as effective a motivator for a scientist as the belief that matter is all that exists.
