According to Isaac Newton, what purpose does God have in the (mechanistic) universe? Do you agree?

Luke 1:37 sums it all up "For nothing is impossible with God."
God gave man the intellic to improve himself. Man did not make God remember that, God made man. Gods touch is in everything we do and create. God made man from dirt and before that he made dirt. Man cannot do the same. Isaiah 55:8 "Gods thought are not our thoughts and our ways are not Gods ways, so sayeth the Lord."
Sir Isaac Newton was a Godly man, he would never have assumed Was not part of the Mechanist Nature if man.

If we have a mechanistic universe, a clockwork universe, as understood in Newton's time, well...someone would have had to have built the clock, and, every now and then, someone has to come along and wind it.
I tend to disagree with any limited human analogy that tries to explain the infinite.

Agree to What?
GOD Almighty is putting out Energy to Keep All of those Little Suckers Spinning (Atoms).
There mostly Empty Space Anyway.
They have to Spin to Maintain Solidity.
Hope this Helps.
Ditto.......
p.s. that energy comes outta HIS Face as Light Energy, that's the Reason you Cannot Look into the Face of the Father, The Father is on the Throne Running the Universe!
Yeah, he is Even Keeping the Atoms of those People who Will Not Accept HIS Son JESUS as their Savior---Together.

God Himself created the universe and the laws in it. He established the law that every action demands an equal and opposite reaction, which is the same thing as karma. When God interacts within His creation, he abides by the laws of His creation. But He is Almightly in that His creation would disappear without Him.

Wasn't it Newton that said that even with all his theories,
somebody occasionally had to "fiddle" with the orbits
of planets, etc, to make them be in the right place?
Unless God was Einstein, or we are entirely discarding
perturbation theory, I think Newton was once again
saying that "things we don't understand must be handled
by God."
There are lots of good reasons to believe in God, but
that is NOT one of them.

He holds the universe in the span of His hand. All things were made by Him, and without Him, nothing was made. In Him all things exist.

A universe needs a god like a fish needs a bicycle.

The prime mover. IE the one who started it all going; then the cosmos moves by laws 'he ' set up.
