"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." — Proverbs 9:10

Newton was a mathematician, physicist, and astronomer. He was one of the most famous scientists in history, known for achievements such as discovering the law of gravity and the decomposition of white light. Few people realize, however, that he also engaged in theological work. Let us look at some of his beliefs:

Order in the universe: He believed that the physical laws governing the universe point to the grandeur of a Creator.

Space: He posited absolute space and time as manifestations of God.

Harmony: He viewed the "book of nature" and the sacred scriptures as complementary in divine revelation.

Apocalypse: He believed in the end of all things. Some say he studied prophecies more than mathematics and physics during his lifetime.

However, after his death, it was discovered that he did not believe in the Trinity—one of the fundamental doctrines of Christianity. Unfortunately, he went down the wrong path in this regard. Nevertheless, he remains a prime example of someone who knew how to reconcile scientific study with a religious life.
