The Prediction of Isaac Newton

310 years before today, Isaac Newton said this (Taken from Wikipedia):

In a manuscript he wrote in 1704 in which he describes his attempts to extract scientific information from the Bible, he estimated that the world would end no earlier than 2060. In predicting this he said, "This I mention not to assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fanciful men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, and by doing so bring the sacred prophesies into discredit as often as their predictions fail."

I never new of this and I find it quite interesting that Isaac Newton, one of the greatest minds, made this assertion over 300 years ago.
