A Powerful Lesson About Creation From Sir Isaac Newton
Funny how the most brilliant minds in history believed in God. The applauded but lesser minds were delusional, which simply showed why they were lesser...

Born in 1642 during a time of scientific and intellectual upheaval, Sir Isaac Newton’s discoveries in physics, mathematics, and astronomy laid the foundations for centuries of scientific progress.
His ability to observe, theorize, and apply mathematical principles to natural phenomena transformed fields ranging from mechanics to optics.
That a maker is required for anything that is made is a lesson Newton was able to teach forcefully to an atheist-scientist friend of his.
Sir Isaac had an accomplished artisan fashion for him a small scale model of our solar system which was to be put in a room in Newton’s home when completed.
The assignment was finished and installed on a large table. The workman had done a very commendable job, simulating not only the various sizes of the planets and their relative proximities, but also so constructing the model that everything rotated and orbited when a crank was turned.
It was an interesting, even fascinating work, as can be imagined, particularly to anyone schooled in the sciences.
Newton’s atheist-scientist friend came by for a visit. Seeing the model, he was naturally intrigued, and proceeded to examine it with undisguised admiration for the high quality of the workmanship.
“My! What an exquisite thing this is!” he exclaimed. “Who made it?”
Paying little attention to him, Sir Isaac answered, “Nobody.”
Stopping his inspection, the visitor turned and…
