During this time, Newton’s laws of motion and universal gravitation became his best known discoveries. But he was careful to warn against using them to view the universe as a mere machine. He said “Gravity explains the motion of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things.” Later in life, he came to believe that after God created the world with it’s natural laws and rules, He sat back and let it work on it’s own. He believed that God is not at work in the world any more.
