Voltaire, to prove the Christians wrong!
One day Voltaire said to a friend," It took 12 ignorant fishermen to establish Christianity; I will show the world how one Frenchman can destroy it." Setting to his task, he openly ridiculed Sir Isaac Newton. One day Newton made a prophecy based on Dan. 12:4 and Nahum 2:4 when he said, "Man will some day be able to travel at the temendous speed of 40 miles per hour." Voltaire replied with, " See what a fool Christianity makes of an otherwise brilliant man, such as Sir Isaac Newton! Doesn't he know that if a man traveled at 40 miles an hourhe would suffocate and his heart would stop?" 25 years after Voltaire died, his home was purchased by the Geneva Bible Society and became a Bible storage building and his printing press was used to print an entire edition of the Bible.
