Gregory (Albert) Benford on Laws of the Universe
Why do the laws that govern [the universe] seem constant in time? One can imagine a Universe in which laws are not truly law-full. Talk of miracle does just this, invoking God to make things work. Physics aims to find the laws instead, and hopes that they will be uniquely constrained, as when Einstein wondered whether God had any choice when He made the Universe.

Notes
Physics seeks immutable laws, while religion sees a Universe where the laws bend to fit whatever god's will happens to be at the moment.
