It is amusing that you blithely accuse others of dishonesty while throwing out the typical canard "so-and-so was a creationist".

You DO realise that Newton died long prior to the publication of Origin of the Species, yes? And that he died before the modern reactionary YEC formulation of the literal interpretation of Genesis was developed, yes? Calling Newton a "creationist" in this context is more than slightly disingenuous.

all I was pointing out is that many of the well known scientists of the past and many today are and were creationists. That's not a canard nor is it dishonest. It's just a simple truth. And if the TOE were present in Newton's day I have no doubt he would have seen the falicy of it very clearly.
