Are you trying to say that God can make apples “fall” upwards and nuclear weapons give up mc cubed energy if m is the mass fissioned? I think that being a believer of such a God will be nothing less than being a gullible irrationalist, if not superstitious.
We only assume we know every Law of Physics.
No we NEVER do.
“His [Einstein] was not a life of prayer and worship. Yet he lived by a deep faith — a faith not capabIe of rational foundation — that there are laws of Nature to be discovered. His lifelong pursuit was to discover them...”
Abraham Pais, Subtle Is the Lord: The Science and the Life of Albert Einstein, New York: Oxford University Press, 1982, p. vi.
What we have found out so far is just what we know. There are things we’re yet to find out.
“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.” - Sir Isaac Newton.
The point of my attention in the earlier comment was that what we have found out, despite being only a little of what all can be found out, is true. It’s not the set of all the truths, but it is true and cannot be falsified.
For God is “an orderly system obeying rules which could be discovered by those who had the courage, imagination, and persistence to go on searching for them...”
The rules that God obeys is the set of all the truths that can be found out. We know only a little of it, but we know something. And that something is part of the set of all the truths. God has to obey this something.
That apples fall according to Newton’s laws, is part of this something. God is bound to obey it. God can’t disobey it. He can’t make apples “fall” upwards. Just as he can’t make nuclear weapons give up mc cubed energy if m is the mass fissioned. Coz mc squared is what God has to obey, he can’t make it mc cubed.
