The "laws" of which you speak are descriptive not prescriptive. They aren't initiated by forces; forces are described by the laws.
Quote:Is it possible that these forces and many other forces are the ones that control our universe? This is just a thought that, what if these forces not only influence our physical world, but they play a part in forming our emotions too. In that case will I be correct in calling these superior forces, a superior deity?
Forces have never been seen to act in any way that gives them any status as conscious entities. Thus they are not "in control". If there were such a force, it would still follow certain laws, and thus control would be limited.

I would personally say a deity would have to have some kind of power over the universe, and at least have some form of intelligence.
