All laws at the small scale are not absolute. At the scale of the atom, you can't say where an electron is or isn't. No one can. That is the nature of physics at this scale. We find that things settle out into a relative probability of truth or false. The law of diffraction is not absolute at the photon scale. If I take photons and pass them through a double slit one at time, there is no absolute control of where each photon will land (dare I say, even by God) after emerging. The law predicts what the pattern will be on average after the photons emerge from the double slit, but not where any photon will land. This is a concrete example of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. So, are you saying that God has created laws which even he can't violate? Or, that he creates laws which only operate as probabilities? In which case, can God only probably send me to Hell, or probably send me to Heaven? That is the way His Universe works.
