"May God us keep From Single vision and Newton's sleep." - William Blake. Blake seems to have suffered from single vision regarding Sir Isaac Newton. Even so, Blake depicted Newton as an earthly version of his vision of the "Ancient of Days".

Yes, gentlemen like Newton, and Frances Bacon before him, had a vision whereby science and religion were not at war, indeed were married - perhaps an alchemical union of opposites (although I don't see them as opposites) - its a vision we have lost sight of and one we should actively endeavour to reclaim. Masonry teaches us respect for God as well as respect for science and learning. It is a great arrogance, and a great ignorance, in contemporary intellectual life that sees the hight of rationality in the discarding of a respect for the unseen.
