Others have done some of the first.

Your continued failure to convincingly explain the brilliant folks support of Creationism is noted.

Apologies, I missed the post where that happened (a specific technical achievement of modern creation science). Please can you direct me to the post.

The fallacy of holding up people like Newton as creationists as if that were some kind of argument against ToE has been pointed out so many times that it is truly boring to repeat the rebuttal. Have you guys got amnesia?

Newton was a great man of his time. Newton had no opportunity to support or believe in the theory of evolution because he died long before it was proposed. Therefore to put people like Newton and Galileo on lists of "Great Creationist Scientists" as if that were an argument against ToE is a form of intellectual dishonesty. Everyone was a creationist then. Can you not see how feeble that makes your arguments look?

More thoughts on this ludicrous creationist non-argument:

Presumably quantum theory and atomic theory and genetic theory are also untrue because Newton and Galileo didn't believe in those things either. (in fact Einstein didn't support quantum theory and it was proposed when he was alive, I guess according to creationists either Einstein was right about quantum theory or he wasn't a great scientist) That is the logical level of this particular creationist argument.
