You get buried in a box underground with a stone above you with your name and stuff, then slowly groundwater seeps into the box, rotting it and you. Soon after the decomposers (worms, etc.) come and eat your body away until you are dust and you are forgotten.

True. The purpose of life is to live a purposeful life, not to be faithful to something that is not true.
Actually, they weren't as flawless as you think.
Newton, a devout alchemist, was flitting in and out of depression when he conceived of the infamous three laws. They are currently being shown (partially by Einstein) to be not completely true in all cases.
Einstein conceived of the atomic bomb and supported the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
Mother Teresa was against divorce rights in Ireland.

Umm... when did I say they were anywhere close to flawless? Please quote when I did.
Einstein conceived of the atomic bomb and supported the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
He did and he did so because he believed it would save lives in the end. He also regretted it.
As for the second part, I have to call B.S. unless you can provide a credible source.
