Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton was one of the thinkers of the scientific revolutio n. Newton's first developement was the creation of a reflextive telescope. He also discovered the idea of universal gravitation. He also came up with the "Mathamatical Principales of Philosphy". This idea stated that the universe is like a clock that runs to set rules. God is the one that makes the clock, but once he has created it he just stands back and watches it. Newton's philsophy sees God as a distant god who doesn't really have control over the little things in live. This new approach to Christianity created by Newton is called Deism.
