I think you were ignoring the part where I said scientific laws are observations and predictions, it isn't the laws themselves that control anything, I told you this yet you still went on to say scientific laws control and govern things
Law is a generic term that defines a pattern or principle of an activity or a behaviour. Whether you study the behaviour of people in some particular state of affairs or you study a certain event in nature in all cases your research enables you to explore the pattern or principle that regulate the activity or behaviour. Consequently, the acquired knowledge gives you an opportunity to make use of that principle or pattern in a way that is beneficial for you.
Ok, I'm no expert on the subject but none of the points you're making here point to laws actually controlling anything, as I said before scientific laws are statements and predictions based on observations, they aren't a force themselves, I'm assuming you agree with that since you haven't made a counter argument, you've just given a vague definition of law.
Additionally I'm assuming your argument is for theism, I still don't see the significance of laws in relation to the possibility of God.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
