The motions which the planets now have,…could not spring from any natural cause alone, but were impressed by an intelligent Agent.
Non-credible scientist, notorious for spreading his “theories” about planetary motion.

I see two possibilities:
You disbelieve the quote and you are using it as a counterexample. In which case, you consider the source to not be credible on the matter.
You believe the quote. In which case, you prove how people may believe what a prestigious scientist may say without critically examining it, even if the claim is contaminated by incredible magical thinking. This is precisely what the meme advocates against.
Neither of these scenarios contradict the meme.
