In his later years, why did Newton study theology?

The science of Newton's time was called "natural philosophy", which is why his book is called "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy".

It should be pointed out that although Newton was a scientist, he also believed in God, strictly speaking, everyone in his time believed in God, but the difference between Newton and others is that he did not believe that "God himself dominates the universe", he believed that "God left a series of cosmic laws after creating the universe, and these laws are the mystery of the operation of the universe", so Newton set up the goal of "summarizing the laws of the universe" very early.

Through a series of experiments and summaries, Newton has made achievements in the fields of optical mechanics and astronomy, which are the first systematic cognition of the natural world by human beings, so some people say that "Newton is not born in nature, and eternity is like a long night". <

Calculus in mathematics, dispersion in optics, the three laws of mechanics, and the law of gravitation in physics are all outstanding achievements of Newton, and later physicists can fly higher and farther only by standing on Newton's shoulders.

Although Newton was an outstanding scientist, he was bitter and mean, and more than once "dominated" the achievements of others.

Hooke and Leibniz, who were smeared and indirectly forced to death by Newton, are the best portrayal of Newton's character, Newton in history was obsessed with alchemy in addition to physics, and his biggest dream was to turn base metals into gold and silver, as a result, Newton was poisoned with mercury on the way to alchemy, and later generations believed that mercury poisoning was the cause of Newton's delirium and madness in his later years.

In today's era, all secular and religious countries regard science and technology as the top priority of development, and the only lesson that mankind has learned from history for hundreds of years is the <> that "science and technology are the primary productive forces".

It is no secret that religion and philosophy have long been unable to keep up with the pace of science, and that they exist only because science and technology are not yet developed.

Because he may find a lot of things that cannot be explained by science, and try to explain them from a theological point of view, to find out what is going on. And isn't there a saying that science is above theology?

Newton is one of the founders of modern physics, Newton's invention of the three major mechanics and the gravitational force have a foundational effect on the current physics, but Newton in his later years went to the road of God's son-in-law, not only Newton, there are many other scientists are like this, as for why they would study Chen Xue, it may be that they found something that they have no way to understand, and can only be attributed to the power of God.

Newton studied theology in his later years because science was not developed enough at that time, and many phenomena and fields of confusion could not be correctly interpreted by science.

Newton went to study theology in his later years, because Newton was a scientist, and he also believed in the existence of God, after all, there are many doubts about reality, in fact, Newton is not on Newton, in fact, there are many scientists who also believe in the existence of God.

There is no challenge in studying what can produce results, and what can be studied without studying theology.

Our current natural sciences began with the study of God!

Because any discipline of mankind can only lead to theology in the end.

I dreamed that Newton was taking my phone to study.

Newton finally understood the insignificance of human beings.

I can certainly ask this question, I want to see how others are just that!

A bunch of fools! Those who believe don't know exactly how to do it according to Newton's theory! Those who don't believe are even more stupid! On the earth, human beings have long made flying saucer ball lightning according to Newton's theory, and so on! At least I can make electromagnetic longitudinal waves!

The reason why he changed the direction of his research was because the classical physics theory could no longer explain the phenomena in reality, and he could only turn to God to solve the problems he encountered.

When it comes to this issue, we need to understand why Newton turned from natural science to theology, because in China it is officially Ma Zhe's thought, we have been educated in materialism since childhood, so the official belief that this is wrong, in fact, we all know that there are many problems in reality that cannot be explained, and Newton chose theology because he found that many problems could not be solved. Whether it's progress or regression depends on your beliefs.
