>do scientific laws pass the scientific method?

No. They are observations. Only theories are subject to the scientific
method.

 e.g. The intensity of light observed from a source of constant
intrinsic luminosity falls off as the square of the distance from the
object.

That's not a theory. It isn't somebody's idea or proposal. 
It's just a fact. Light follows this inverse square law every time.
