I would say that God created the universe with a mathematical
pattern - contingently, because there is more than one such possible
pattern. Thus the pattern is created, for it does not just emanate
inevitably from God. What we call laws of physics are approximations to
that pattern, or to parts thereof. Thus to say that God created
physical laws is (or should be) a kind of shorthand for "God created the
pattern to which our laws approximate.
