(3,845 posts)I don't believe you're talking about the laws of science, which are an attempt by humans to construct a set of explanations for which no observations can be found that aren't explained by them. The laws of science are constantly changing and anytime a repeatable observation that seems to break them is discovered then scientists get to work trying to find a new set of laws of science that can explain all known observations, including the newly discovered ones.
Instead I think you're talking about laws of nature, meaning some laws that are built into nature itself and that humans may likely never fully discover.
A belief that a supernatural force can suspend the former, the laws of science, clearly doesn't make any sense. If a phenomenon occurs and happens to be observed, then science would routinely go about the business of trying to adapt its laws to encompass the new observation. There isn't any entertaining by science the idea that some observation might have special standing as supernatural - all observations are equal and in need of explanation.
For the latter it's an interesting question. I'm out of time right now but may post more thoughts later.
