Default End of the World in 2060

All over the news and really not that interesting I know. However, in this article you'll find this gem of a quote:

"Luckily for modern scientists in awe of his achievements, Newton based this figure on religion rather than reasoning. "

wonderful in so many ways.

He seems to have stopped all the rash conjectures but one. But, he's as good as any to keep on the list of "famous people that religion never screwed up their thinking", since he already had angels pushing planets around anyway.
