Newton was the first to demonstrate that the same laws that govern the motion of celestial objects also govern the motion of things on Earth.  Newton contributed greatly to the advancement of science.  His work also advanced the concept of heliocentrism (the belief that the Sun is at the center of the solar system).

Newton was a devout [[Christian]] who said his discoveries were inspired by [[God]].<ref>http://www.biblecodedigest.com/page.php/74</ref>.  He devoted more time to the study of Scripture than to science, and more time in the pursuit of alchemy than to either.  He said of himself, "I have a fundamental belief in the [[Bible]] as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily."<ref>Tiner, J.H. (1975). Isaac Newton: Inventor, Scientist and Teacher. Milford, Michigan, U.S.: Mott Media.</ref>
