1995, Friedel Weinert, Laws of Nature, page 231 more example
So a law of nature which said, say, that Ravenhood is causally linked with blackness would entail both All ravens are black and All non-black things are non-ravens, but would not entail a law linking non-blackness with non-ravenhood.
1988, Keith John Cooper, The use of scientific method in assessing religious conceptual systems, volume 2, page 280
