The real problem with Newtonism in the public school classroom is that it is often taught in an Atheistic manner. Textbooks by modern Newtonist apologists, like Leonhard Euler and Joseph-Louis Lagrange, routinely assert that gravity has done away with the need for God. The claim is that mass and mutual attraction have demonstrated that we can have pull--or the illusion of being pulled--without a puller. In this sense Newtonism becomes propaganda for Atheism, for pulling is God's job. Do you want to put your Lord out of work?
Typically evangelical Christians seek to counter this Atheism by trying to expose the flaws in the Newtonian account of gravity with good, logical, Bible-centric arguments like argumentum ad verecundiam and argumentum ad antiquitatem. This explains the appeal of "creation gravitation" and the "Intelligent Falling" (IF) movement. These critiques, however, have not made any headway in the scientific community, the majority of whom hate God, and they have also failed whenever they have been tried in the courts, themselves filled to the bursting point with Liberal activist judges. It is only because He is merciful that God has not released His divine grip on them and watched them float away. Fortunately there is a better way to argue against the Newtonism being preached by Newtonists: by loudly screaming "WE'RE RIGHT, YOU'RE WRONG" until blood gushes from the their unholy Atheist ears.
