Isaac Newton
Isaac Newton is 2nd on the list of greatest men. He was one of the most influential and greatest scientists in history. He was an English philosopher, physicist, mathematician, theologian, astronomer, and alchemist. He is also a deep believer in God and he studies science to understand God - the Creator of the universe. Isaac Newton was born on December 25, 1642 according to the Julian calendar in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. He was born prematurely and his mother, Hannah Ayscough said he could fit in a cup. His father, also known as Isaac Newton, had died three months earlier.
When Isaac was three years old, his mother remarried and went to live with her new husband, Barnabas Smith, in the care of his grandmother Margery A. Young Isaac rejected his stepfather and maintained a grudge against his mother for marrying him, as this phrase reveals in a list of sins up to the age of 19: “Threatening my parents by burning them on fire. their home”. From the age of twelve to seventeen, Isaac Newton was educated at the King's School in Grantham, which taught Latin and Greek, where he could study mathematics.
Although Isaac Newton's methods were very logical, he still believed in the existence of God. He believed that the perfectly ordered beauty of nature must be the product of a superhuman Creator. He believes that God exists everywhere and at all times. According to him, God will occasionally intervene in the world's affairs to maintain order. The principles laid down by Isaac Newton thus remain valid to this day. After his death, his methods brought about scientific achievements far greater than what he could have imagined in his lifetime. These achievements are the foundation for the technology they enjoy today.
