→Controversy Surrounding Newton's Sexuality.: new section
The calculus section had some conceptual errors in it: the binomial theorem doesn't express an area; it re-expresses a function (such as a square root) as an infinite series of polynomial terms. The integration of this series is what gives the area. Also, it is worthwhile to mention Fermat's contributions for "integrating" polynomial curves -- Newton would have never considered re-expressing a square root as an infinite polynomial if there wasn't already an easy way to compute areas under polynomial curves. I've rewritten the mathematics of this section appropriately. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 04:16, 3 November 2008 (EST)

== Controversy Surrounding Newton's Sexuality. ==
Just came across at least a few sources which may indicate Newton was a homosexual, which I believe would interest those of the Conservapedia community, as well as all God Fearing Christians.
As much as I hate to admit it, there is a non-trivial amount of evidence for this. Newton never married, nor did he bear children as God Intended (which already leaves a black mark against him in my book - or should I say, my Good Book). And not only does his close early correspondence with one John Wickens taint the palette of homosexuality (even though this may be attributed to early college homosexual experimentation, which is common among most men, or so I hear), but also his later correspondence with Fatio de Duillier with such Sinful sentences as ''...the reasons I should not marry will probably last as long as my life', or 'I could wish sir to live all my life, or the greatest part of it, with you.' TWO MEN? CHOOSING TO LIVE A """""CONSENSUAL""""" LIFE TOGETHER? ISN'T THERE SOMEONE YOU FORGOT TO ASK?
Please consider adding this as, and I'm thinking you'll agree, paints a rather non-Christian portrait of our hero of classical (and, lets be fair, modern) physics.
Cheers,
Micheal Simon
