Newton was a singularly nasty human being and, if you did not know, a sworn enemy of orthodox Christianity. But even he would have been horrified at the thought that after three hundred years of research people would use his work to contradict the work of scientists who came after him and built on (the good bits of) his investigations. I find your attitude simply incredible. Not only do you make an idol of the Bible - whereas the Word of God that Christians worship is the man Jesus, who has not left a single word written by His hand - but you even harden the scientists of three hundred years ago into idols, the better to attack the scientists of today. I am reminded of the reported words of Our Lord, Who pointed out that those who build great monumental tombs to the prophets of old are doing nothing else than cooperating ex post facto with those who murdered them in the first place.
