March 20
Sir Isaac Newton died MARCH 20, 1727.
With his mother widowed twice, he had been raised
by his grandmother before being sent off to grammar
school and later Cambridge.
Newton discovered calculus, the laws of gravity and
built the first reflecting telescope.
Using a prism, Newton demonstrated that a beam of
light contained all the colors of the rainbow.
President of the Royal Society from 1703 till his death,
Sir Isaac Newton wrote in Principia, 1687:
'This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and
comets, could only proceed from the counsel and
dominion of an intelligent Being...
All variety of created objects which represent order
and life in the universe could happen only by the
willful reasoning of its original
Creator, whom I call the Lord God.'
In Optics, 1704, Newton wrote:
'God in the beginning formed matter.'
Regarding the Bible, Newton wrote:
'The system of revealed truth which this Book
contains is like that of the universe, concealed
from common observation yet the labors of
the centuries have established its Divine origin.'
In A Short Scheme of the True Religion, Sir Isaac
Newton wrote:
'Atheism is so senseless and odious to mankind
that it never had many professors.'
