I could agree with you if you'd merely stipulate that we don't yet know a single one of these "laws of nature".
We "know" them because we formulate them.
Law of nature, in the
philosophy of science, a stated regularity in the relations or order of
phenomena in the world that holds, under a
stipulated set of conditions, either universally or in a stated proportion of instances. (The notion is distinct from that of a
natural law—i.e., a law of right or
justice supposedly derived from nature.)
Laws of nature are of two basic forms: (1) a law is universal if it states that some conditions, so far as are known, invariably are found together with certain other conditions; and (2) a law is probabilistic if it affirms that, on the average, a stated fraction of cases displaying a given condition will display a certain other condition as well. In either case, a law may be valid even though it obtains only under special circumstances or as a convenient approximation. Moreover, a law of nature has no logical necessity; rather, it rests directly or indirectly upon the evidence of experience.
Laws of universal form must be distinguished from
generalizations, such as “All chairs in this office are gray,” which appear to be accidental. Generalizations, for example, cannot support counterfactual conditional statements such as “If this chair had been in my office, it would be gray” nor subjunctive conditionals such as “If this chair were put in my office, it would be gray.” On the other hand, the statement “All planetary objects move in nearly elliptical paths about their stars” does provide this support. All scientific laws appear to give similar results. The class of universal statements that can be candidates for the status of laws, however, is determined at any time in history by the theories of
sciencethen current.
