"Newton saw God as the masterful creator whose existence could not be denied in the face of the grandeur of all creation."


Nevertheless, he rejected Leibniz' thesis that God would necessarily make a perfect world which requires no intervention from the creator. In Query 31 of the Opticks, Newton simultaneously made an argument from design and for the necessity of intervention:

For while comets move in very eccentric orbs in all manner of positions, blind fate could never make all the planets move one and the same way in orbs concentric, some inconsiderable irregularities excepted which may have arisen from the mutual actions of comets and planets on one another, and which will be apt to increase, till this system wants a reformation

I trust Issac Newton more than I trust any of you.

@TheOrionbeltseeker Much more has been discovered since Newton!!
TheOrionbeltseeker · 36-40, M
@Harriet03 I agree.

Has whatever been discovered or invented till now can tomorrow be claimed as "By chance" by someone.


I suppose researchers are doing hard work there.

@TheOrionbeltseeker Science has evidence for things it claims, religion does Not!
TheOrionbeltseeker · 36-40, M
@Harriet03 I totally agree but to me, just personally it is just like the medical department claims

on day 1 that eggs are the super food and

on day 2 eggs have cholesterol and

on day 3 cholesterol gets divided into good and bad

and if you ask a normal person too, then he would say "eat eggs in moderate and they won't hurt you"

@Harriet03 Religion is a condition of the heart, it does not have to be proven to be right, it is a matter of faith, either you have it or you don't!!

@Silverwings So keep it away from young chidren, until they can decide for themselves!!
Silverwings · 61-69, F
@Harriet03 So says you of little faith!! People of faith choose to beget people of faith.
Silverwings · 61-69, F
God is weeding out all who are unbelievers. It is not his will for any to perish, but he has given a measure of faith to every man, it is up to that man what he does with his measure.

@Silverwings This is how I feel too. Religion is different from God. Religion is created by individuals or human beings just to keep us in check or to rule or minds or whatever. God did not create any religion and Christianity is not a religion. It's just the feeling of people who follow Jesus Christ. A child should be free from all of it until he is curious about all the stuff happening around him and he should be free @Harriet03

I also think that he will pick up God slowly till the end of his life.

@TheOrionbeltseeker Religion is following the letter of the law, relationship is created out of love.

@TheOrionbeltseeker God created all of us with a spot that only he can fill. We follow after all kinds of things that aren't good for us,in search of the fulfillment that only he can give.
TheOrionbeltseeker · 36-40, M
@Silverwings Very true

"God created all of us with a spot that only he can fill. We follow after all kinds of things that aren't good for us,in search of the fulfillment that only he can give."

@Silverwings If the only way you can accept an assertion is by faith, then you are conceding that it can't be taken on its own merits!! 🤷‍♀️

Isaac Newton just went from being a human fallable being to a "prophet".
I wonder what he has to say for that... if you did this with an 18th century writer in the anglosaxon territory, they would be turning around in their graves.
