NEWTON WRESTLES WITH THE TRINITY DOCTRINE
In his writings, Newton gave much attention to the doctrine of the Trinity. One of his most outstanding contributions to the Biblical scholarship of the time was his work An Historical Account of Two Notable Corruptions of Scripture, first published in 1754, twenty-seven years after his death. It reviewed all the textual evidence available from ancient sources on two Bible passages, at First John 5:7 and First Timothy 3:16.
In the King James Version Bible, First John 5:7 reads:
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”
Using early Church writers, the Greek and Latin manuscripts and the testimony of the first versions of the Bible, Newton proved that the words “in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one,” in support of the Trinity doctrine, did not appear in the original inspired Greek Scriptures. He then traced the way in which the spurious reading crept into the Latin versions, first as a marginal note, and later into the text itself. He showed that it was first taken into a Greek text in 1515 by Cardinal Ximenes on the strength of a late Greek manuscript corrected from the Latin. Finally, Newton considered the sense and context of the verse, concluding, “Thus is the sense plain and natural, and the argument full and strong; but if you insert the testimony of ‘the Three in Heaven’ you interrupt and spoil it.”4

Nothing Can.
They tried twisting Bible, it did not work!
They made a creed that will make your head to spin, and still it did not work.
Now, you want to use Quantum Physics!
Using Quantum Physics can you prove the existence of unicorn!

Just read bible it will disprove trinity. No need to tire your head in quantum physics that is so deep.

The Bible itself disproves the Trinity.

Certainly NOT! God is spirit (Jo 4:24), how come we want to use Physics to prove his existence?

No, because the trinity doesn't exist. It's a false doctrine.

If it did it would also prove that god is very, very finite and ephemeral.
