Did you know that Isaac Newton was a kook who believed in astrology, occult, alchemy, and (gasp!) young earth creationism. BTW, Newton predicts the world will end in 2060, unless of course, the ancient Maya prediction of 2012 doesn’t get us first.

Of course, in Newton’s day, there was no scientific theory of the formation of the universe.
The evidence for the Big Bang wasn’t found until the 20th century.
