Absolutetruthin1777, I hate to burst your bubble, but Newton never married and being a dedicated Christian (no sex outside of marriage), he died a virgin. Historical fact. (Perhaps you are related in another way, but Newton left no direct lineage.)

I'm stunned at his intelligence, but mostly impressed that his devotion to study and work left us with the legacy of knowledge he left us.

SlenderInstance49612, You can’t be a absolutely true he was a virgin, just because he reported it! Just saying.

It's quite wow that a person gave universally accepted way in which gravity works... splendid

Randall Stone, Maybe he was trying to actually work it out. As I have read parts of the Bible and it does have scripture to back up science. I guess the Bible is not just about how to live morally to actually benefit ones self and others. It's has heaps of cool stories about how normal everyday people survived an over come seriously nasty situations. By faith alone they survived. So that in itself would highly interest a man like Newton, the how,the who,the what,the why and the where of it all would have thoroughly interested a genius such as he. Maybe that's why he was a virgin till death as the Bible says fornacator will not in herit God kingdom.

according to information he was a miserable horrid man who was widely disliked. his principa mathematica laid the basis for many physics formulae and has been lauded as the most important scientific paper in history.

Regardless no one really understands how gravity works or where it comes from. I call it "God's Glue". it's how everything fits together and doesn't go flying off in every direction.

I would say sir Newton was in the top 10 minds of ALL time.

Dianna Bella74, Einstein also could not deny the possibility of a higher power. He realized it was impossible for him to prove otherwise. Many the non believers hold onto that shred of hope of heaven. They are saved on there deathbed giving them consideration of heaven. Worst possible decision for an atheist is to deny God at the end.

When Issac was born, the midwife didn't think he'd live through the night because his head was large but his neck was slender. I'm glad he made it, but that was God's plan anyway. Did you know that a German man also invented calculus at the same time? This new mathematics was "inspired" (which means in breathed) by the Universal Intelligence in two places at the same time. Newton needed calculus to help him understand the motions of the planets. Can you imagine pondering gravity? Could you help me understand it, please?

Henry Rollins is a modern day Newton, never married or bore children.....but a brilliant mind as a poet and author

..4144.., given his extensive and commented on by his contemporaries, hangups: his religious views and his (accidental but self inflicted) arsenic and Mercury poisoning its almost certain. Also, he wrote about women in such a way that it is considered fairly certain he was asexual.
