Huh? A physical law is defined as a "... [conclusion] based on repeated scientific experiments and observations over many years and which have become accepted universally within the scientific community."[1] In other words -- something that has been shown not to vary.

Faith by definition a "belief that is not based on proof".[2]

So you're arguing against the validity of formal logic or the scientific method or that a reached consensus cannot be trusted?

EDIT: I think you're overestimating the certainty that an empiricist would have about future events.
