Answer:He was a christian, but a less ignorant christian than others at his time. (for the record, I am christian)Answer:He was an Anglican (Church of England) which is Christian sect, but had a falling out over several doctrinal matters. See appended link for a full discussion
They are not--but understanding them is. They are the distillation of many ideas that had been floating around, but stating them so clearly and succinctly made them easy for anyone to understand. I strongly suggest reading some of the "Principia". This will show you why Newton was (and is) so highly regarded for his work. they were very important....they started a spark on the movements of science! they discuss almost eveery thing we use in everyday lifeNewton's Laws are important for understanding the interaction of matter and gravity forces throughout the Universe. Also, without Newton's Laws you would not stick to the earth!
Newtons are a measurement of force; the amount of force necessary to accelerate a mass of one kilogram one meter per second per second (in other words, the acceleration is continual). Here's a complete explanation:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton
It's the mass of the object! An object with large mass are more viscous to set in motion. This effect, the viscousity of materia in universe may feel logical. But it's actually a mysterious phenomenon that we yet can't really describe!
He came up with them by thinking deeply and obsessively. Sir Isaac Newton was a genius, perhaps the greatest genius the world has ever known. After inventing the eponymous fig-filled pastry-like cookie -- the Fig Newton -- he yearned for more difficult challenges and turned his attention to physics, writing the Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, a three-volume work published in July, 1687. It contains the statement of Newton's laws of motion and his law of universal gravitation.
Readers Digest Book of Facts, 1995:Sir Isaac Newton, British Scientist; died in 1727: 'I don't know what I may seem to the world. But as to myself I seem to have been only a boy playing on the seashore and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.'
Impact - a fine choice of words - He calculated the trajectory of cannon balls shot from canons.
Sir Isaac Newton showed that all objects in the universe attract each other through gravitational force, in other words, he was the one that showed that planets and moons stay in orbit due to gravity :)
Gravity was discovered by Sir Isaac Newton.That's like asking who invented planets, or water. Nobody had to invent gravity.It was always there, but the English Physicist/Mathematician Sir Isaac Newtongets the credit for explaining how it works, around the year 1700 or so.People had been aware of gravitatonal force for hundreds of years before English Scientist Sir Isaac Newton wrote his Principia in 1687 which was the first attempt to set out the laws of gravity.

Sir Isaac Newton was a person who complained how the Church never followed its own teachings and was stressing the fact that the Laws in the Bible should be followed. And we obviously know that many religions oppose Homosexuality, and it's considered immoral, a corrupt practice, and in some religions, punishable by law. Sir Isaac Newton, being a person that concerned over keeping with religious laws can never be gay. So what if he stayed away from women - celibacy was a form of piety at the time, and Newton was certainly a pious person. As for the letters he sent to his friends that seemed "romantic", you have to understand that people express their feelings differently in different words. Nowadays we say "You're my bestest friend in the whole wide world!", but back then it was much classier, lol.
Newton's life is far to big to summarize in a measly 200 words. However, I could sum it up in 3000 words...

Yes, but it was called 'Opticks' The Opticks of 1704, which first appeared in English, is Newton's most comprehensive and readily accessible work on light and color. In Newton's words, the purpose of the Opticks was 'not to explain the Properties of Light by Hypotheses, but to propose and prove them by Reason and Experiments.' Divided into three books, the Opticks moves from definitions, axioms, propositions, and theorems to proof by experiment. A subtle blend of mathematical reasoning and careful observation, the Opticks became the model for experimental physics in the 18th century.
