Talk:Sir Isaac Newton vs Bill Nye/Rap Meanings/@comment-179.154.12.89-20140705122320/@comment-199.204.56.17-20140714225420

Considering Newton lived in England and born into an Anglican family, he wouldn't have had to hide from the Catholic Inquisition which started in France and was strongest in Spain. His personal religious beliefs even by todays standards would be consider heresy by many Christians (he was against Trinitarianism and considered worship of Christ as God to be idolatry), the line in the rap battle is almost certainly a reference to him spending half his life looking for the so called Philosopher's Stone.
