Strictly speaking, even the laws of physics are held by opinion. As
you may remember, the "laws" of science are only theories that have
stood up to enough testing to be accepted by most people in the field.
Science seeks for truth, but can never say with certainty that it has
found it. For example, after Newton, the law was F=ma; until Einstein
got done with it, and now that is no longer the law (despite being a
very useful approximation).
