This Day in History: English mathematician and physicist Isaac Newton was admitted as a student to Trinity College, Cambridge on this day in 1661. While known as the "greatest scientific genius the world has ever known" Newton actually wrote more on the subject of Theology rather than Science. In fact, Newton believed that God had chosen him specifically to interpret the Bible — and concluded that the world would end no sooner than 2060. Even though he is buried in Westminster Abbey, he actually rejected many doctrines of the Church including its central doctrine, the Trinity (which he could not reconcile with reason.) Had he been more open with his beliefs he would have been denounced as a heretic.
