I don't know whether God uses mathematical formulas in how He
creates; I would agree that our formulations are best approximations rather
than known absolutes. However, being created in God's image to rule over
the world, it is possible that we're designed to make good approximations.

What about less precise statements (e.g., "two masses attract each
other.")?
