Would you agree, that the "physical laws" are just descriptive and do not have a causal abilitiy? The physical laws, give us a way to describe, understand, and model what happens as the force of the ball is transferred to the glass? The physical laws that you are describing is just how things behave. They are not prescriptive, and do not have causal power.
To the extent that physical laws are purely descriptive, so is the notion of causality. It is simply a description that certain things tend to follow other things.
I would agree...
