[[Isaac Newton]], who was merely an average student, worked on translating the [[Bible]] and that gave him the inspiration and insight for inventing [[calculus]], developing mechanics, and discovering gravity.  Going beyond reading the Bible to translating it also enables the eradication of liberal distortions that have crept in, such as pro-[[abortion]] bias against references to the unborn child.  Just as [[Shakespeare]]'s works are losing interest in the West due to its increasingly archaic language, liberal language in Western Bible translations loses people. Conservative insights, as part of the ''[[lingua franca]]'', enlighten translation.
