In the study of nature, it is easy to concentrate on the laws discovered, to the extent of forgetting that there is anything else. The author points out that two kinds of law, statutory and natural, are quite different. As for natural laws, they are just observed regularities. Thus it is not reasonable to invoke natural law, as some have done, in an attempt to eliminate the need of a Ruler of nature. Neither does the existence of natural laws, that is of regularities which happen usually, make the occurrence of miracles impossible.
