I say they are not because of what you said "the evidence against such a creation is NOW so overwhelming you would have to be a fool to believe it..." Isaac Newton was indeed a product of his time as were all the great thinkers of their eras. The point is for someone who otherwise seems to be intelligent to believe that TODAY makes them not so intelligent. When there was no knowledge or proof of anything other than creationism then one can't be blamed for believing it. I didn't know your question was geared to all time; I perhaps wrongly assumed we were alking about the present.
