Wow, Clive took the bait (and I'm unbanned??? WTF???)

So Clive would eliminate Newton's Principia if it didn't agree with his moral views.....interesting admission.....
My reply:
Clive,
1) You willingly accept “views” as trumping truth. I wonder how you feel about the views of the inventors of al-jabr? Perhaps I better like Darwin’s view that “a scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections — a mere heart of stone.”
2) Newton was essentially a radical heretic. His anti-trinitarian and Rosicrucian mystic views would lose a lot of friends on this site. His fervor influenced him, and he mentions religion much more openly than Darwin.
3) Show me where in the Origin of Species Darwin espouses atheism.
