I wouldn't worry, your credibility hasn't been affected one bit.
Incidentally, going back to the Sir Isaac Newton thing. I already said that the beliefs of scientists - or indeed anyone, especially those cited as an authority - don't hold a candle to the work that they do. Interestingly, you agreed. Now please tell the class for what is the great man best known to history - his contributions to physics, theology or alchemy?
Physics clearly. I'm just saying he was a Christian an he could still do science. I doubt there is a correlation between religious beliefs and scientific productivity.
