A physical law is a statement, usually mathematical, which describes some aspect of the physical universe. For instance, Boyle's Law (PV = k) describes the behaviour of gasses with regard to pressure and volume, but it doesn't cause helium to spring into existence.

I hate opening this can of worms because theists always go "you used the word created, so therefore everything has a creator" or " You used the word Law so everything has to have a lawgiver".

Idiots don't understand those words have completely different meanings in science having nothing to do withe magic men with magic wands.

Yes, "laws" in science are not like laws government passes. "Laws" in science are a description of long term observations that DESCRIBE a consistency of repeated observation.
