The faith of the inventor of science, the inventor of calculus or any other prominent scientist is irrelevant to the question of whether there's a place in scientific inquiry for the supernatural, however. Where in Newton's work is there a requirement for a deity, for example. Newton describes the laws of motion and gravity without any reference whatsoever to the supernatural. Similarly, Linnaeus when classifying organisms did so without any reference to a deity. He classified them based on shared morphological characteristics that were observable by him. Similarly, there are many scientists today who both work in evolutionary biology and are Christians. Yes, despite the protestations to the contrary that are often heard on these threads, it is possible to be both an evolutionist and a Christian. However, the faith of these scientists, similar to Newton, Linnaeus, etc., plays no role in the work that they do as scientists.
You have made a leap that I did not make. You moved from "place" to "requirement."
In fact, there must be a place for the supernatural in scientific inquiry because the supernatural exists. If scientists are forced not to recognize something that exists they are limited in their inquiry.
It is reasonable to say that the scientific method can neither prove nor disprove the supernatural, but there must be a place for it.
Shalom.
