SIR ISAAC NEWTON

SIR ISAAC NEWTON: This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being. This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all; and on account of His dominion He is wont to be called Lord God . . . I find more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history whatever. [source: Principia Mathematica, 1687 Section 4 Reading 6:]
