Do you believe in god?

Yeah, that's definitely possible, but imho, it's easier to believe in a "god" than the physical laws of the universe just randomly appearing out of nowhere. (note the "easier" thing to believe is not necessarily true, but most of the time, it seems it is)

 

But, what then would prevent them from dissappearing at any time? If that's simply assumed to be possible, that seems to render the laws useless.

 

Because they don't seem to dissapear. The rules are only observed fact and they seem to have stayed around for billions of years, the only reason we have all the laws and constants is because that is what we have seen and they seem to hold true for every situation. By that I mean we don't actually have any definite and undeniable proof that the speed of light won't change suddenly or that the laws of thermodynamics cannot suddenly stop working in the same way, it just hasn't happened and there is no reason to assume it will. Boy that would piss the physicists off though, imagine!
