Why do we ignore Isaac Newton's prediction that the world will end come 2060?

Question

Thanks to secular media and governmental insitutions, not many people are aware of the final (and possibly the greatest) contribution to the world by the man who appeared to have a special connection to divine wisdom and revelation. Interestingly, Albert Einstein remarked that "God does not play dice" (probably a cryptic 20th century reminder of Newton's prophecy).

I believe the word "end" in Newton's prophecy doesn't mean a literal end of the world, but rather the end of the world as we know it. The end of any illusions we may have about the world, who we are, why we are here and who brought us here. Don't you find it remarkable that this fits in with the current intuition of our times (that we are in the last days)?

Some people may object by saying that the Bible said "no man knows the day or hour". But the Bible also says that man can tell the season. Apparently, Newton has told the world. But, for some reason, the world is either ignorant or not listening.

Answer 1

In the real world, the world of fact, science and nature, the world will end when our sun dies. Scientists have made certain predictions about when that will happen based on science and the nature of the universe and observations of other stars in the universe that have died.

The bible has nothing to do with it...neither does "prophecy" or "fortune telling" or any other mythical belief. No one can predict the future.

Answer 2

He used the bible book of Daniel to calculate his prediction. In other words, he used a book of myth to make a prediction of myth. No credibility in that.
