Well, Isaac Newton certainly didn’t have any problem crediting God with being the cause of everything. He looked as science as a great way to learn more about God.

Obviously he and modern science have parted ways.

Now he’d just be one of those less intelligent, or just downright ignurint creationists.

Isaac Newton and many of the other great scientists of that time understood that they had a particular philosophical view of reality and could therefore separate the two and 'do science' quite well.

Scientists today do not understand that naturalism is a particular philosophy in its own right and therefore unwittingly practice more philosophy than they do science.
