Name one scientific law that is complete and correct over the entire possible range of values possible in its domain.

Who cares about such a rhetorical question. Point is that scientific laws work, work reliably and many are the basis of further laws which have been found to work reliably. They are very good and for you or others to dismiss them is to dismiss all of science and indeed all of modern society. You must destroy all that civilization has accomplished in order to deny the laws science has discovered.

It is a strange philosophy you adhere to which to be 'real' must destroy most of the reality around you.

There is , I think, a difference between saying matter behaves according to scientific laws, and saying scientific laws describe the behavior of matter. The descriptions are never complete and sufficient, although they are obviously sufficient to support technology and industry.
