>An extremely invalid and incorrect analogy. Care to try again?

Law: from precedent case (ie, prior natural observations). From God.

Theory: from predecessor case (ie, prior faulty, human speculations). From humans.

It's the best I can retrieve from my accumulated knowledge without further inquiry.

No, scientific laws do not come from God, they come from the realization of regularities in the behavior of nature.

Theory: from predecessor case (ie, prior faulty, human speculations). From humans.

Well, it's time for that "further inquiry" thing then.
