Isaac Newton was very smart, but he was a failure as a farmer, believed that comets were omens from God, spent a lot of time with alchemy, trying to change base metals into gold. He did not believe in the Trinity and wrote a lot of articles on religion in code lest he be persecuted for heresy. He was made a knight for investigating and persecuting counterfeiters-- not his more important works on physics. Check out the article about him online at History Snob.
