An open challenge:
Design an experiment utilizing the scientific method to test whether the natural laws of the Universe are impersonal or not.
If it can't be done, then the assertion of "impersonal laws" by Weinberg is non-falsifiable.

Well, that would make Weinberg's claim nonscientific, which I suppose was the point.
Of course, it comes down to it being Weinberg's opinion. Many theists who accept evolution have said that they believe that the revelations of science have strengthened their faith, so that really just shows that people will derive out of science what they want to see. That won't stop creationists from dishonestly claiming that evolution was created and is promoted to spread atheism, however.

I'll work on that problem as soon as you tell me how to design a scientific experiment to test whether or not unicorns exist.
