What is wrong with this premise?

[Mudhammam]

After all, the physical laws can be considered causes. If an egg falls due to gravity did the newly 'created' brokeneggspilledonthefloor have a cause (i.e. gravity)?

I'm not so sure I'd agree. Are the elemental forces causes or are they rather the pretexts by which causes and effects are made to occur? Did gravity cause the egg to break or was it rather my knocking it from its secure location, for example, that caused it to fall and break? If you had removed my clumsy elbow, the egg would remain intact, and gravity would still be present, so I think it's incorrect to apply cause-effect to the forces themselves as these are rather merely the presupposed conditions within which causes and effects occur. Then again, if all can be reduced to these forces, I suppose they do facilitate the changes and then in some sense EVERYTHING can be attributed to gravity or something of another.
