Your citing of Newton is kinda laughable in this instance. It's up there with people saying that the second law of thermodynamics contradicts the theory of evolution (it doesn't).
In other words, it's something you read at some CT-oriented website that you're regurgitating here without really having any idea what you're talking about.
As JFK conspiracy advocate Dr Cyril Wecht said as a witness during the trial of the Menedez brothers, "some of the Newtonian concepts are indeed applicable and relevant, but you have to then factor in the biological element, the entire neuromuscular system and so on, all of the voluntary and involuntary reflexive aspects of it. Sir Isaac Newton and others just never dealt with those things. That's just a very different situation."
Research done at the Western Australia School of Psychology found that belief in conspiracy theories significantly predicted a subject's rejection of scientific findings. You seem to fit that very common profile.
BTW - speaking of starting from a predetermined outcome and trying to fit the science to match said predetermined outcome: pot, meet kettle.
