Isaac Newton According to Cable TV's Idea of Genius As Quoted by Simels And Then I.N. In His Own Words

Hey Sparky: Your intellectual better Neil deGrasse Tyson tweeted this:

"On this day long ago, a child was born who, by age 30, would transform

the world," Tyson wrote Thursday. "Happy Birthday Isaac Newton b. Dec

25, 1642."

What Isaac Newton, who, unlike NdT is regularly is voted greatest physicist if not greatest scientist of all time,  said:

Of Godliness.

Godliness consists in the knowledge love & worship of God, Humanity in love, righteousness & good offices towards man. Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart & with all thy Soul & with all thy mind: this is the first & great commandment & the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self. On these two commandments hang all the law & the Prophets. Mat. 22. The first is enjoyned in the four first commandments of the Decalogue & the second in the six last.

Of Atheism

Opposite to the first is Atheism in profession & Idolatry in practise.   Atheism is so senseless & odious to mankind that it never had many professors. Can it be by accident that all birds beasts & men have their right side & left side alike shaped (except in their bowells) & just two eyes & no more on either side the face & just two ears on either side the head & a nose with two holes & no more between the eyes & one mouth under the nose & either two fore leggs or two wings or two arms on the sholders & two leggs on the hipps one on either side & no more? Whence arises this uniformity in all their outward shapes but from the counsel & contrivance of an Author? Whence is it that the eyes of all sorts of living creatures are transparent to the very bottom & the only transparent members in the body, having on the outside an hard transparent skin, & within transparent juyces with a crystalline Lens in the middle & a pupil before the Lens all of them so trulyshaped & fitted for vision, that no Artist can mend them? Did blind chance know that there was light & what was its refraction & fit the eys of all creatures after the most curious manner to make use of it? These & such like considerations always have & ever will prevail with man kind to beleive that there is a being who made all things & has all things in his power & who is therfore to be feared.

In case you missed that, Sims, here's the money line for NdT's neo-atheist, sci-ranger admirers:

 Atheism is so senseless & odious to mankind that it never had many professors.
