Your assignment, should you choose to accept it:
Read Newton's "Rules of Reasoning" at the beginning of Vol. II of the Principia ( a mere 2 1/2 pages ) and explain how Intelligent Design is consonant therewith.
Newton, btw, was a devout Christian, and makes declarations, in the Principia, that God is the "Universal Ruler" and "governs all things".
OTOH, it is a fact that he felt compelled to add these declarations after being accused of atheism for declaring that Time and Space existed "without reference to anything external".
Also, he was a Unitarian - a heretic, that is, and was protected by friends via political machinations from being forced to swear belief to the contrary, on penalty of the sacrifice of his academic position and career.
Newtons Rules of Reasoning have very llittle to do with a scientist setting out on a quest to use science to "disprove" the metaphysical. Even at Harvard.
Rule I. We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances.But there has yet to be shown a sufficient natural explanation of the origin of life. Newton does not require that we assume a natural cause, only that if one were shown that we should not then appeal to the supernatural.
