That's pretty cool, Wes. I have not seen Newton's grave (though a few years
back a friend got married at the church where Edgar Allen Poe in buried).

Einstein, I seem to recall, was an atheist. Oddly enough, this didn't
prevent his involvement with Judaism. Israel offered to make him President!

Newton, in the words of biographer James Gleick, "was no Newtonian". And
from reading Gleick's book about him, suffice it to say that his portrayal
in the (vastly over-rated, IMHO) "The DaVinci Code" is comically inaccurate.

Wesley, thanks for the Newton obituary!  

As I recall, Darwin, son of a clergyman, saw evolution as 
the way God works, not as a denial of God.  It would be 
interesting to know what was his model of God.  So also,
Newton's and Einstein's
