Newton, Gravity, and God

By Philip

I think Newton was an intelligent man to make such an impact on science, engineering, and astronomy. He came up with many many new ideas about nature from keen observation. He applied the ideas made by people before him like Galileo and Copernicus. Newton was a leader in new thinking and invention. He came up with the universal law of gravity, explanation for light and rainbows, and invented calculus and reflecting telescope. God gives man the ability to reason. Therefore God allows his natural laws to be uncovered by people. Gravity is God's force holding everything together in the whole universe.  He rules over the universe and everything in it.  He does not take a break from it. I pity the man who takes too much pride in his intelligence and thinks there is no God. He is ultimately a fool. I want to make a new way of looking at autism. Loving us as we are is important. Being willing to search for the hidden talents of autistic people will improve the world.

*Lisa's note- An interesting idea is that Newton may have had Asperger's Syndrome.  You can read about it in this article in New Scientist.

Einstein, Science, and God

Philip enjoys learning from people’s lives.  This week he said he wanted to study famous scientists.  We have studied Einstein before so this time when I saw a FB post about how Einstein saw the world, I read it to him (you can read Einstein’s own words on his view of science and a divine being here).  Here is Philip’s response.

Einstein is a scientist who believed in an understanding Being.  This Being gives life to creation.  Einstein gives credit to a creator because the laws he uncovers are so perfect.  Each law is orderly.  

I am in awe of God and His creation.  I am in awe of the laws that God made.  Each day God allows us to discover His laws.  I enjoy nature because I like needed time each day to eagerly discover God.  I see God a lot in the way He each day teaches us.  He teaches us by allowing today a pleasure someday to find.  He gives us a hope for each day to get a better understanding of Him.
