Here is an interesting excerpt from: JERUSALEM: Israeli library uploads Newton's theological texts | Health & Science | CentreDaily.com

However, the curator of Israel's national library's humanities collection said Newton was also a devout Christian who dealt far more in theology than he did in physics and believed that scripture provided a "code" to the natural world.

Anyone with examples of the link between science and the Scriptures.
One example with respect to Platonic type elements used in the 3 dimension architecture of Nature based on Scriptural parallels.

It doesn't have any extra validity just because it's Newton, if that's what you're going for. The third link in particular is just numerology, and doesn't really mean anything. It's ontologically outdated by a very, very wide margin.

Here is an excerpt of what Newton wrote. You should judge a man by what he does, but to test the validity of what he says, it always helps to at least put your feet in the water. Here is a excerpt from Isaac Newton's writings per the above link, in regards to "Christianity":

Christians for their remisness then ever the Iews yet felt. But the world loves to be deceived, they will not understand, they never consider equally, but are wholly led by prejudice, interest, the prais of men, and authority of the Church they live in: as is plain becaus all parties keep close to the Religion they have been brought up in, & yet in all parties there are wise & learned as well as fools & ignorant.

Not sure where your going with this

its well documented Newtons faith caused his work to suffer and stopped him in his tracks in some of his work because he attributed something to god.

He placed god in the gaps of his knowledge which halted hios work.


he was almost there, the second person picked up and tripped right into it quickly where newton failed.

He was a man of his time.
He was into religion, astrology , alchemy, and science
He was an important thinker and started many people on their own paths.

Isaac Newton was born 370 years ago when there was nothing like pools of evidence that contradicted the arguments put forward by theists as there is today.

While Isaac Newton was a Christian, he held what some would consider to be heterodox views, such as he didn't believe in the Trinity, nor the divinity of Christ. He had, what some might call, occultic leanings, and he was very much into astrology and alchemy. He was one of the first to postulate that there was a hidden mathematical code in the Bible. He even gave a prediction for the end of the world, sometime in 2200 if I'm not mistaken.

With the advent of scientific thought, and a fresh direction in philosophy and religion during the 17 century, many learned people moved more and more towards the unitarian view (though illegal). This was true right throughout northern Europe and the American Colonies.
Though It did not become fully legal in the UK until 1813 the Trinity Act 1813 The first congregation was formed in 1774, well after Newtons death. Newtons life covered the formative years of the Enlightenment.
