Why was Newton a theist?

Doctrines of Science? How many times have you been told there are no doctrines, no beliefs in science, science is a methodology nothing more.
Science gets along with religion just fine via the simple expedient of ignoring everything religion and the religious has to say. As to the question of what would turn you away from you're beliefs, that's a question only you can answer. The laws by which the universe operates makes the god of the bible an impossibility but I'm quite certain that won't dent your armor the slightest bit.

That is exactly the kind of vague and worthless posturing that I have come to expect.   It really doesn't say anything (that can be falsified).

Of course it can be falsified, for starters show how god can wield more power than the universe contains.
