Yes I am. Einstein and others noticed a slight discrepancy and subsequently he formulated his theory of general relativity. The point is we observe ourselves in a universe that according to atheists came into existence without the benefit of a designer or engineer and yet the universe operates unswervingly by laws of physics that are discoverable, are amenable to scientific inquiry and explicable in mathematical formulas, are uniform throughout the universe and make prediction and deduction possible. Is this what anyone would expect or predict if our universe was the result of mindless mechanistic that didn't intend any specific thing to happen? Would it be surprising if a universe came into existence without the benefit of intelligence design or planning that it would be chaotic without any discernible laws of nature and hostile to scientific inquiry? I dare say it wouldn't be surprising but it would be what you'd expect from the source...
In answer to the bolded question, yes, it is what we would expect to see, because it is what we do see.
Addressing the rest, as someone already pointed out, the laws and maths we use to describe the universe are TOOLS, the universe is not made up of these laws or maths.
