Seeded his brilliance to God

I will add the video time just in case it's unclear... Can you please explain what is "seeded his brilliance to God"?

Napoleon was not only everything we know him to be, he was a great reader of mechanics and physics books, so that he would know not only how to make the Cannonball, he would know where the Cannonball would hit when he shot it. And so he summoned up this five volume tome, read it said to Laplace: "This is a brilliant piece of work but you make no mention of the architect of the system" making direct reference back to Isaac Newton. And Laplace's reply was: "Sir I had no need for that hypothesis"

So what worries me is had Newton not stopped and seeded his brilliance to God he could he easily come up with prohibition theory.
