It doesn't prevent it from working either... which is what you seem to imply by ridiculing religious belief. Newton thought that the laws of physics are a manifestation of God's omnipotence, atheists these days think these laws don't need a lawgiver, it's already clear whose position is ridiculous.
Your statements about what Newton believed are particularly rich, and you might want to go do some research on what sorts of things he believed. The guy was a complete loon, like some very smart people tend to be. You’d be disappointed.... but all of it is less than worthless, as always, because you appear to be incapable of stumbling into any valid inferences, even by accident.
Here in the us, the state authors laws informed by representatives of the people. We don’t need a god for that.
Scientific laws, for their part, are descriptive. Don’t need gods for those either.

I don't think I understand your question. what false thing?
