Please, define NATURAL and NATURE.
What according to you is Nature? And how does it differ from 'not-natural'?

Vic,
Are you saying that most science does not recognize "laws" of
nature; or just you? I'm not sure saying gravity is a law gives
it too much ontology. "Law" in this sense only means universally
applicable. And absolutely nothing can be proved absolutely, but
we're pretty gosh-darned sure gravity exists.
How about this? Not all natural phenomena are natural laws, but
all natural laws are natural phenomena. The two are not mutually
exclusive.

gravity is a phenoma. you apply laws to phenoma because they have
some
sort of conistency and predictability. its not like gravity is
alaw to
be discovered. its a phenomena to be described. to say gravity
is a law
gives it ontological weight that cant be proved. gravity is a
theory,
nothing less nothing more.
