Isaac Newton was a panentheist, not a pantheist.
He would sooner believe that God transcended this universe, than believe that the universe is a part of God —which may very well be true, even still. He attributed gravity to God.
But to assume there is nothing outside this universe? With the existence of math? That’s an absurd.

— “Although Newton believed that the cosmos is contingent on God as a necessary being, and emphasized both God's immanence as well as his transcendence, he rejected the pantheistic world soul on the one hand and a hard occasionalism in which God is the source of all causation on the other.”
Newton was a contradictory, contrarian nut.

Isaac Newton seemed to believe that the universe couldn’t run on its own without a supreme cosmic intelligence, or “God”, to guide it. Much like a mentally disabled child that must have their hand held by an adult at all times when crossing the road.
He absolutely could not conceive of an existence that just…runs…
