As an historian, I'll attest that Michael Smith is right. Some of you are showing your anti-religion bias. Newton, for example, felt that his greatest work was not the Mathamatica Principia, but his commentary on the Bible. So, if you think Michael's explanation is "shallow," for starters, I would send you to Majorie Nicolson, Breaking the Circle and Moutain Gloom, Mountain Glory, Alexandre Koyre, From the Closed World to the Infinite Universe, and Arthur Koestler, Sleepwalkers.
