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.

No one knows. Anyone who claims to know is a liar.
Any kind of belief system is in the dark on this one - God, no God, afterlife, no afterlife, whatever; no one knows. This is why the theist and athiest are on the same turf with this question. They may not like it and will bitch and moans, but they are.

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.
