I can't find a God constant or variable in Newton's laws of motion. “He said, ‘Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done.’” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Newton)
Newton distinguishes between what he is able to describe with science and what is beyond his knowledge yet.
“Since then, science has been re-defined — specifically to exclude anything immaterial.”
For the Greeks science and philosophy was one. With Newton modern science starts.
Newton wrote in a supplement to his “Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica” - “Hypotheses non fingo” - “I feign no hypotheses”. That excludes anything immaterial or to be more specific anything not material or not energetic.
By the way, what did Dawkins exactly said in the movie about Panspermia? For me Panspermia can be a kind of ID.

in No Intelligence Allowed Dawkins said he thought the genes came from space aliens. Likely he was echoing the sentiments of Francis Crick who discovered the double helix.
I saw Dawkins on Discovery last week opining that language was the new genetics. I about fell out of my chair when I heard that. Did that mean that language came from space aliens too?
Maybe
60 million years from now geologists studying the earth will see a layer where suddenly an advanced civilization appears—there won’t be any transitional forms—because 5000 years is just a sliver of sand in deep time. It will look like some space aliens set up shop. However, if they have a copy of the bible they’ll learn the truth. God himself came to visit the earth in the presence of Son.
See my post above on how Francis Bacon (& Decartes)screwed up the tree of knowledge for the english speaking world in the late 1500’s/early 1600’s.
He said, in his own words, that it was possible, not knowing what the actual origin of life was.
