Beliefs, remember, are not the same as facts.
If any philosopher wrote a book that proved the existence or non-existence of God, he or she would surely win the Nobel Prize for Literature for solving such an ancient debate.
I personally believe in God, a higher power, whatever you want to call it. However, I am aware that my belief is not proof. That you are not calls into question the extent of your intellectual development.

That you cannot explain what "The Law" or "just plain law" is, equally proves that you have a problem with your intellectual development. It is also obvious to the reader that your entire post is an attempt to dis the subject of "God", due to the FACT that you state you "believe in God", then immediately in your mind and on the computer screen, reduce "God" to "it".
"probable cause:
Apparent facts
discovered through logical inquiry that would lead a reasonably intelligent and prudent person to believe that an accused person has committed a crime, thereby warranting his or her prosecution, or that a Cause of Action has accrued, justifying a civil lawsuit."
Because 'logical inquiry' can only be an intellectual process, and the definition excludes the physical reality, then the 'apparent'(ness) cannot be related to definition #1 below.
apparent
adjective
1. readily seen; visible
2. readily understood or perceived; evident; obvious
3. appearing (but not necessarily) real or true; seeming
Clearly apparent to the mind
lucid, conclusive, explicit, understood, intelligible, comprehensible, self-evident, patent, indisputable, unquestionable, undeniable, blatant, axiomatic, proverbial, aphoristic, reasonable, broad, unequivocal, unambiguous, on the surface, unmysterious, as plain as the nose on one's face*, going without saying*, staring one in the face*, open and shut*; see also definite 1, understandable.
Have a nice day.
