Greetings AIG.com,

Most aspects of modern life rest, in some way, on Isaac Newton’s findings. It’s no surprise that everyone, even biblical creationists, wants to claim him as their hero.

One aspect of the beliefs of Newton was that he rejected the Trinity, as stated in the article you referenced:
"Iliffe concurs with what others who have studied Newton’s theological writings have concluded: Newton rejected the Trinity, believing in the Arian heresy that Jesus is less than fully God. Apparently, Newton thought the doctrine of the Trinity was one of the corrupting influences that had infected the true religion."

But whose side is he really on?

I also reject the Trinity, but may not endorse all of Newton's ideas.

I have a reprint of Isaac Newton's "The Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse", and I consider that he is on the right side of the fence on this topic as well, and that his book is a useful contribution, but again I may not endorse all that he states.

Kind regards
Trevor
