Yes it does make that assumption EV.
CS & Dar, no I'm afraid it doesn't simply fall apart. The "laws" of nature are just regularities. They're not axiomatic. As soon as something happens different, we have to go back and reevaluate, that's the nature of science. They're a summation of observation. Most of the stances here, while touting openness of opinions/ ideology, hold a stance where it is improbable to observe anything immaterial. The notion of "law" falsely implies necessity and lends credence to a, IMO, skewed view of reality in some. A whole new undiscovered mechanism is what Science is about! What should be considered as a natural law is anything wrapped up in time. It's a table of consistent observations over time . 1000 years ago science was far different than today, and 100 years from now people will probably be laughing at how trivially we thought now. Just my opinion.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
