Christianity and Science

Issac Newton is not known as a chemist only, but a physicist, theologian, scientist, statesman, and a pioneer in scientific works There are only a few men who can boast as much as he can Issac Newton is the fountainhead of all known modern scientific enterprises His laws of motion, gravity, optics, calculus, and minting, all contributed to a great advancement in science His contemporary, Robert Hook also contributed much to the scientific establishment, and thus also deserve a mention here These two individuals together contributed so much to the development of science and education, than many of the known scientific figures in the entire history of science.

Issac Newton was a Christian, though he did not believe inTrinity.This does not mean he does not recognize the three personalities of Godhead, but instead used the termTriunity. The wordsTrinity andTriuity is very different.To me, the fitting word, or the word that most aptly fits, isTriunity. He was an ardent believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, and expressed so openly. He did not believe in Chruchanity, but Christianity.This is clearly visible in his interaction during those times, and mentioned in his writings Christ first, then everything follows Love thy neighbor, that was he preached, and practice There is no mention of him doing or engaging in any unchristian practices in historical records In fact, my Church Seventh DayAdventist (SDA) gained inspirations from him Our prophetess mentioned him as one of the bearers of light, who passed it to her Namely, keep of the 10 commandments, and love for Christ

The difficulties of being a Christian scientist are many He faced persecutions, but prevailed due to close contact with the living Lord Jesus He had a major emotional breakdown, but sustained no major injuries , and was also a recluse and thus avoided many scandals

Refrained away from the socialites of his day He preferred a simple, lively, goodly life Though,

he preferred to stay close to scientific discoveries He exchanged many letters with the most educated of his time He found himself unable to fully understand others, and thus shied away from the spotlight It is only with the insisted plea from the King, that he decided to work as the chief smith/treasure of the English nation This transformation of England to a modern state happened during the era of Newton Many other individuals of like stature rose and strengthened the English nation, and made it the never-ending empire

In conclusion, Issac Newton is known as the greatest of the greatest in the scientific world He was stated as the light of heaven, though not worshiped, but greatly admired He died with plenty, and flourished even after other world departure The innovations and writings live after him. Most of the works he engaged in are theological, and not scientific. He was an ardent alchemist, an archaic word for a chemist. He did numerous scientific work, but lost heart and changed from chemistry to other physics and theological work. He was truly the most influential person in scientific work, period.
