If God exists, and if God's purpose by creating the world is to have a personal relationship with His creation, then what relevance are the scientific achivement of the people above? If the Holy Spirit entered their heart and those people chased the Holy Spirit away in their wickedness, then they deserve to be judged equally as a janitor or your grandmother.
If the Bible speaks the truth, then the wicked will be raised from the dead and throughout eternity exist in the state of conscious, unutterable, endless torment of anguish. Don't count on your scientific achivements to get a free pass to Heaven, people.
