Isaac Newton also believed in alchemy, had a prejudice against Catholics, and was wrong about gravity.

Creationism is another example of religion making really smart people believe really stupid things.

Peer-reviewed is crap when they won’t allow the christians to ‘build in their sandbox, unless they agree to go along with the ‘charades’ ~ accepted paradigm of old ages.

OK, so now you're saying that no Christian has ever written any peer-reviewed article about geology?

Please provide evidence that every peer-reviewed article about geology was written by a non-Christian. Let's get that out of the way first, then I will accept that "peer review is crap".

Read closely again ~ peer-reviewed has become more like peer-pressured [you wanna keep your job and grant monies don’t ya?!].

Actually my vote for greatest scientist ever is Archimedes, whose understanding at least of Integral Calculus was in some ways better than Newton's, and predates his by around 2000 years. Considering the experimental equipment available to him, his physics was probably more advanced, as well.

Yet strangely, Archimedes did not believe in Jesus.

Now, if you'd like to bring up the objection that Archimedes was born 250 years before Christ, I won't object. But I will point out that attempting to invoke ancient authorities who did not have access to the same evidence that we have is exactly what YOU are trying to do...

I’m also saying what the Bible says: Many make the claim to be christians but few actually have the courage of their convictions ~ well actually it is probably more than a few - rather a small percentage.

Isaac Newton was practicing the settled science of his day.

Creationism is another example of religion making really smart people believe really stupid things.

If that's the case, you haven't proved it yet and if you are implying that Newton was an example because he was a creationist, that falls flat as well.

I have no doubt that Newton had more brains in his pinky that you'll ever have in your entire lifetime.
