Genius' and Scientists who believe in God.

Sometimes when speaking with unbelievers they try and pit God against Science. They try and draw a line between what's "provable" and what's "belief" as if believing something isn't valid unless it can be put into a test tube or measured.
They imply that religion is a crutch for sheeple, for those who aren't so bright.
Well, this list of folks would disagree. This is a blog post about great thinkers and scientists who did great things in their field while believing in God.
Here is one example:
Isaac Newton
by John Tiner
Isaac Newton is today remembered as the greatest scientific genius who ever lived. His discoveries about light, physics, and mathematics have changed the world.
Isaac was born on a cold Christmas Day in 1642 outside the English town of Woolsthorpe. His father died before his birth. His Mother was poor. She was afraid Isaac would not live through the harsh winter.
Isaac Newton returned to Cambridge where he taught mathematics. Working off and on for the next 20 years, he proved that all objects attract each other according to a simple equation. The sun, moon, planets, even apples and grains of sand are all subject to the law of gravity.
The law of gravity became Isaac Newton's best-known and most important discovery. Isaac warned against using it to view the universe as only some machine like a great clock.
He said, "Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done."
Despite the fame as scientist, the Bible and not nature had been Isaac Newton's greatest passion. He devoted more time to Scripture than to science.
He said, "I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily."
