"Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allah has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His] directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earth are signs for people who have sense." The Holy Quran - translation of verse 2:164
@mooninquirer "Isaac Newton was not much of a Christian"
Correction: Isaac Newton was not much of a Trinitarian.
He believed that Jesus was the son of God and rose from the dead. However, he did not believe that Jesus was God incarnate.

Watch this video on a severe criticism of what they say is the cult of Isaac Newton, that has some VERY good points --- type into the youtube space : LAROUCHEYOUTH THE HARVARD YARD
Newton is a VERY bad person to use for God's existence, because the Brits who admire him so much are EXTREMELY Atheistic. Examples are Richard Dawkins. You also don't have to call him "Sir" If you MUST use a Brit for God's existence, better examples are James Allen, and Michael Faraday.

Newton might very well have been a CREATION by the British to show their greatness and justify there Imperialism. He is similar to the other Brit, Darwin. You might have heard that William Shakespeare has not written those works. Well, there is ALSO evidence that Newton himself was NOT a mathematician, nor a physicist, because he himself spent VERY little time and energy on those things, and almost all of his time on Alchemy and being master of Britain's Mint.

I do not know WHY you contribute to the CULT of Isaac Newton. Regardless of what Newton himself believed, he is emphatically used as example of the greatness and justification of BRITISH Imperialism, and even of ZIONISM, and the notion of God somehow having a CHOSEN PEOPLE. Newton is the EMBODIMENT of the notion that "MAN is the measure of all things." As fellow Brit Alexander Pope said, "Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night; God said, 'Let Newton be' ---- and all was light ! "

@BronyEditor Isaac Newton was not much of a Christian ---- he was more of a Deist. If this story is really true, then it is acceptable to use it as example of the "Watch and the Human Eye" argument for God's existence. If it is NOT true ---- and certainly the life of Issac Newton has NOT been immune to AT LEAST some mythologizing ---- then a MUCH better person to use for this argument, who was very sincere and pious, was Johannes Kepler.

@narnianhero For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

When will people realise that Science proves God rather than disproves God... Search 'Scientific Miracles of the Quran' and feed your mind... Amen

@EnjoiningKnowlege Now your premise is that a supernatural explanation is irratonal, which is a presupposition. That is the very question being debated, so to presuppose that it is irrational is fallacious. Another faulty presupposition is that all questions of inquiry are necessarily reserved for science. The reality, however, is that science is itself axiomatic on principles and presuppositions beyond its remit (ex. mathematics, logic, causality - disproved by Hume etc.).
