Jose Faur is the author of Homo Mysticus: A Guide to Maimonides's Guide for the Perplexed.
The greatest genius since Aristotle was a Theist who accepted the Divinity of the Torah and rejected Christianity. Everyone knows Einstein was a skeptic. Why not this?
>Most scholars identify Newton as an Antitrinitarian monotheist. Although the laws of motion and universal gravitation became Newton's best-known discoveries, he warned against using them to view the Universe as a mere machine, as if akin to a great clock. He said, 'Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done.'
I had a physics prof who dismissed Newton's theological ideas as "insane" because he practiced alchemy. Who didn't back then? That's like ripping on Hume for not figuring out the wave-particle duality of light.
