The host of the show mentioned that Da Vinci, who some consider the father of modern science, believed in creation. He also mentioned that Pasteur and Newton believed in creation, and either both or one of them (cant remember exactly) even went so far as to defend the Genesis account of creation.

[/ QUOTE ]Didn't Newton spend some significant time late in his life on the old alchemy problem of turning lead into gold? Einstein spent (some would say wasted) the latter years of his live going down the wrong path. Stephen Hawking has recently admitted he was wrong about some theory he was previously wquite sure about. Anyway, great scientists often have these types of lapses.
