You answered the question I was asking.
My reason for doing so is something I personally do to categorize different systems of belief. I break everyone up into two different categories, one being faith systems and the other being philosophical systems. Faith systems always rely on some form of mystical or divine intervention. In this system, laws of physics and the like are not important because there is usually some form of a divine entity to which the laws do not apply. Philosophical systems do not believe in mystical or divine intervention, but they may believe in acts some would deem mystical. The difference is that the philosophical system believes that everything can eventually be answered given time and experience.
Note: I use the term law very loosely here. The basic presumption is that everything is bound together by a set of rules, and breaking free from that rule set is impossible. Whether this rule set comes from any facet of science is irrelevant. The point is just that there is a rule set in this system.
