I don't believe the first law of thermodynamics is attributed to Newton. Anyway, it states that the total energy of a closed system is constant (see ref.). In chemistry this can be seen in reactions that are exothermic (heat generating) and endothermic (heat absorbing). The chemical plus thermal energy of such reactions, when carried out in an insulated container like a calorimeter, stays constant. For instance, a highly stable (low energy) compound requires heat to dissociate, and its formation evolves heat.

Newton worked with apples not thermuses.

The first law of T is basically the conservation of energy.

Chemical energy is converted to heat or kinetic energy or electrical energy. The energy produced can not be bigger than the amount of original chemical energy.

The universe had a beginning, consequently there could be a reason to it. - definite, the great bang, see how basic that replace into. A cellular can't take place with the aid of different techniques like Abiogenesis (in accordance to cellular thought). - And in case you have been to show which you will possibly have a Nobel Prize. in spite of the shown fact that, the flexibility in the universe could have come from someplace in accordance to the regulation of causality. - definite, the previous universe, advert infinitum.
