So you've now graduated to wiki for your quotes.
Yeah, I am going to stick to what a researcher has to say on the topic. Might want to give this piece of scholarly research a read:

Leave out the insults, Trap.
They sure could have been. Geniuses can fall into traps of illogicality. Anyone can because everyone is human.
For every Newton and Einstein there is at least one scientist who is an atheist (probably more). So, I wouldn't go that route to make any sort of point.
And for the record, Einstein was an agnostic pantheist: a fancy way of saying he admitted he didn't know if there was a god or not but chose to believe that if there was one, it was identical to nature itself and had no mind or human qualities. (A far cry from "religious" as you said.)
I call your point invalid because it is.
You, Sirdowski, and Jonboy: Something can't come from nothing. But god can come from nothing.
Me: You just contradicted yourself.
You: No we didn't, because god isn't a something, god is a someone.
Me: All someones are somethings.

OK let me correct you then.
All natural things, events and beings have a cause. that long string of caused events msut have an un-caused CAUSE.
That Un-caused cause must be SUPERNATURAL as, ALL NATURAL things, events and beings have a precursor cause.
That suoernatural event, thing, being that is the uncaused cause can sometimes be called God. It s supernatural, in the sense that it is not of this natural world(and by world i mean the entirety of matter in the universe).
Except the chain of cause and effect you're describing breaks down at the quantum level. It's not a simple as saying that something had to knock down the first domino.
