Jump across time; Newtonian God

Newtonian God:
For his observations of the world to work, Newton conceived an idea of a supreme being, who was different from that of the Church yet accepted the Book of Scripture.

What did he conceive?

God controls everything, every simple thing. Space is his tactile organ from where he is in touch with everything and Time is his visual organ through which he sees across time. In this idea durations and distances are important quantities and through his analogy Newton argued that Instantaneous action at a distance is possible, but instantaneous action across time is not.

What the above statement means:

If I am sitting writing this right now, I cant be at any place else in this moment and that is logically true, unless we go to Elemental level, where Newton was any ways proved wrong thoroughly, where electrons are in two states (particles and waves) at the same time. The probabilities get reduced to near zero on Human level, yet the De Broglies equation and Heisenbergs Uncertainty principle still holds. (Maybe in the end, Newton thought he was reaching for the absolute, but he was not!) And, we can always argue that Reality is relative (Inception!). So, I can dwell in my memories right now, which technically is a jump across time, maybe in some other form. The same with dreams, or going in some parallel universe. (Refer here: Inception (2010, Christopher Nolan); Source Code (2011, Duncan Jones))

Summing it all up with my perceptions and views:

If we accept Newtonian God, and Jump across time, they dont harm each other in anyway because they are defined differently. Newton was talking about the Absolute but he missed one important phenomena of Natural Philosophy, Quantum-ity. (or, did he?!)but, yet to answer and clear my above statement, Reality needs to be defined properly, the Paradox of Now needs to be cleared. There can be contrasting theories existing in the same time, and pursuing any of them leads to some observation of the world and of Natural Philosophy.
