Who or what designs the laws of science - more specifically - why do things happen the way they do?

Question

I'm not talking about this is a human and this is an ape, and this is a planet and this is not,

and im not talking about gravity cause every decade theres some new idea about how the gravity works,

if you say God I respect that,
if you say you are atheist and they just are, I respect that,

but consider, how did the way that nature is, happen?

there is a mechanism we observe called gravity, why does it act the way it does, not how, but why

Answer 1

Ontology, the study of being, seems to have some rules. The universe exists with rules that are discoverable, and vaguely unchangeable, but the origin of these rules is mysterious. There's some evidence that some of the rules that we assumed are universal may not be, but this doesn't mean that all rules are nonexistent, only that we are continuing to learn the parameters of the rules.

The God-in-the-gaps people will say that these rules were established by God. Deists assume that this is true, but that this was God's only function. This functional definition of God runs counter to the cultural understanding of God, and so I reject it as a meaningful description of deity.

Because I do not believe in God, I have no reason to assume any deity set the rules up for how matter and energy interact. Instead, I prefer to live with the ambiguity of not knowing. As knowledge advances, it may be that we will discover ways in which the rules of physics are contained within the energy and matter themselves, and that their very existence brings about the mechanisms under which they function.

Answer 2

For physical laws, there is no need for a 'why'. Things just are.

The physical laws of the universe - inverse square law of gravity, speed of light, etc seem to have been constant from the beginning. Why they are what they are - well, some people will point out how perfectly suited they are to forming galaxies, planets, people, etc. But remember, if they were not so perfectly suited to us, we wouldn't exist to ask why not.

Answer 3

Just a quick update on your question, there are multiples forces of energy and gravity is one of the weakest.
You are to be congratulated for the respect w/o sarcasm you bring to this sector of YA.

Answer 4

Science cannot explain why something happens; all it can to is describe how it happens. However, as a Christian, I do know that God is the one who makes it work. God bless!

Answer 5

The why is the same as the how, unless you are a theist or maybe a ufologist. But, for most of us, that question cannot be answered, even by a rocket scientist.

Answer 6

Gravity is still not fully understood by our best physicists. I'm surprised you are asking that here. Good luck.

Answer 7

We'll never understand. It MIGHT be god, but not the god of the bible.

And you're right every decade we revise our understanding of the universe. The deeper we go, the deeper it gets.

..>Universe>Black Hole>Galaxy>Sun>Earth>People >Cells>Proteins>Molecule>Electorn>Quarks>.Strings>..

We keep getting closer on both ends, but we'll never know. As for why, it's just order from chaos, that's my thought.

Answer 8

who knows really i mean i don't believe that some spirt that has always just been there did it at all. its just how earth works.
