Limits of Science, Laws of Nature

The fact is that, as the result of the work of Einstein and others, the theory of relativity and the quantum theory and so on, there is today an entirely new approach. Scientists, the best scientists, are now saying that our knowledge of “the laws of nature”, only describe a part of actuality and of the totality of phenomena. As far as they go they are correct, but all they do is to describe certain common patterns. It is not that the scientists are disputing the existence of these patterns or denying that within the realm of these patterns you can still talk of cause and effect; but what they have discovered is that there are other factors outside these patterns which cannot be explained in terms of our established or recognized, “laws of nature.” - D Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Healing and the Scriptures, 26.
