| Sumario: | Up until the time of Newton, scientists regarded the understandings of the physical world, at which they were arriving, as glimpses of the working of the Creator's mind. Thus, the generalisations being formulated about the behaviour of matter - the "Laws of Nature"--Were seen as the Creator's injunctions, to created matter, as to how it was to act.

And even now, scientific laws are occasionally spoken of as being "obeyed"!However, it is doubtful whether any. |
