the following words, in
his famous work
Principia Mathematica:
...He (God) is eternal and
infinite, omnipotent and
omniscient; that is, his duration
reaches from eternity to eternity; his
presence from infinity to infinity; he
governs all things, and
knows all things that are
or can be done. He is
…eternal and infinite;
…he endures and is
present. He endures
forever, and is
everywhere present; and,
by existing always and
everywhere, he
constitutes duration and
space... We know him
only by his most wise and
excellent contrivances of
things... [W]e reverence
and adore him as his
servants… 97

The above picture shows Newton separating light into a spectrum of
