What Are the Laws of Nature?

Universe - Laws of Nature - Physics - New York Times

I tend to think the laws of nature are not laws at are, they don't govern or control nature, they just describe it, and predict it.

Please that think the laws of nature actually control the universe are just substituting "Science" in place of "God".

But if you believe God created a structured, consistent, rational universe, then using the tools of science to learn about the universe is both fun and profitable. And it in no way conflicts with Religion. Just because the universe is rational and natural, doesn't mean there isn't anything "supernatural". It just means science can't be used to study or describe or even detect anything supernatural.

Science, by its nature, ASSUMES there is no supernatural forces or events in the universe. So Science cannot be used to prove or disprove God. But many people think it can.
