In fact it would be impossible to do science of any kind if the laws of nature are changing, have changed or been tampered with.

And it is impossible to do science if you believe this has happened. What would be the point?

It would be like playing chess with comeone who can override your moves.

There would be no play at all. We use the idea of evolution in sociology, history, which is kind of a problem and the source of much political debate. Every day another reformer stands up, and then conservatives question whether we would be better off. How are we to make sense of the gang riot yesterday: is it some kind of evolution, a change of rules in the middle of the game?
