Newton among other things, was also an alchemist.
Alchemy has a rich history starting in ancient Egypt and later simultaneously flourishing in China and the Greek world. There were two directions that alchemy went in the 4th Century BC, one went the way of empirical sciences, and the other went the way of magic, astrology and fraud (of the latter path none of these things are part of monotheistic religion).
I guess while you are trying to insult Newton, you might as well insult the Catholic scientist Antoine Lavoisier and Albertus Magnus who was sainted by the Catholic Church for his mastery in chemistry. We have a variety of other monks and Catholic scientist/philosophers who have contributed greatly to the science of chemistry under the table heading of "Alchemy".
In the 16th century there once again became a remarkable division in the field of "alchemy" whereas one group followed after Philippus Paraclesus - devoting themselves to scientific discovery of new compounds and reactions, the other who went the route of imposture, necromancy and fraud - I am assuming that you only know of the latter, and from that you base your ignorant insult at a great scientist and Creationist.
I must admit, you God-hating evolutionists (redundant?) sure have a knack for trying to validate your bogus religion through serial fraud, lies and insults - all the while ironically attaching yourselves to the discipline you hate - "science"... (sigh)
And another slur of yours that I wanted to clear up.
Newton among other things, was also an alchemist.
B: It wasn't a slur. Newton was indeed an alchemist. And second this wasn't intended to be a putdown of Newton. It does show that even Newton had some ideas that did not bear any fruit.

B: Alchemy went nowhere. Its only value was that as people tried in vain to turn ordinary things into gold, they discovered alot of things about different substances. And later on the early chemists tried to systematize that knowledge, culminating in Mendeleyev's periodic table.

B: Lavoisier is considered to be on of the first "chemists". I really have no idea what you're on about. I think you're so muddle headed that neither do you.
