I already knew Issac Newton had a religious side.
What it goes to show is that he was a man capable of having a scientific and a religious side, and yet he did not allow one to affect the other.
That alone garners my respect.

Interesting. Another reason to respect Isaac Newton, besides the monumental contributions to science and the invention of the cat-flap.
I, too, believe that there's no reason science and religion must be in conflict. Studying science makes us appreciate the marvelous complexity of God's creation. Some of my most religious moments were in my 9th grade biology class.

I actually knew that Newton was a good moral person from a lecture series I attended this past year about Fibonacci numbers and the Golden Section. It was a whole series of Workshops about scientists and mathematicians who see God in science and nature.

why are papers such as these always available "only to a few scholars"? Whats the big deal about letting such works like these and the Dead Sea Scrolls available to the world at large? Why do some Jewish people like to hoard such information...? why?

Yes, he had his nutty side. He also was obsessed with alchemy It doesn't diminish his important achievements, though.
It's hardly surprising that a lot of scientists toed the church line at that time. After all, look what they did to Galileo.

IN THE BIBLE GOD had told us some information about the future and of course all the things to help me in this life but this is not mean that i can believe all the things which human brain(and not spirit of God)can add on principle ideas of the bible .christian or not in positive way (about the future ) or negative ...
i think i know in off about future across the bible and God told us more if he want .with all my respects to scientists.

That is not surprising, only in fairly modern times has the view arisen that the two do not go hand and hand.
