The Nomological Argument for the existence of God is not based on the fact that our universe contains the exact regularities that it does in fact contain. Rather, it is based on the more general claim that the observed parts of nature contain regularities involving a certain level of sophistication, such that they can be adequately described only with the language of mathematics. The Nomological Argument For the Existence Of God is interesting and requires an analytical mind to comprehend. Here is the link to published paper which requires either Academic Access or payment, but here is also a link to the final draft of it that anyone should be able to access.
The Nomological Argument is a close relative of, or perhaps a version of, the Eutaxiological Argument, which is based on the general orderliness and comprehensibility of the universe. The Nomological Argument is in an intermediate position between cosmological arguments and standard design arguments. We can think of the Nomological Argument as an argument for the existence of a supernatural being based on the mere possibility of doing modern science.
