Ken Ham argued no such thing. He argued that because there is a God that created us that we can be sure of the laws of logic and the laws of nature that were set in place by Him. He argued that Bill Nye was borrowing from the biblical worldview when believing in things like logic and laws of nature. He wasn’t arguing against the laws of nature.

You are doing the same thing that Bill Nye tried to do last night. You are setting up a straw man and then knocking it down. Ken Ham is a young earth creationists who loves science and discovery. He isn’t trying to shut down scientific progress. To equate him with Islamic fundamentalists that hate science is dishonest at best.

He clearly demonstrated that there are many published and accomplished scientist that also believe in a young earth and six day creation. Dr Damadian who invented the MRI is one of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOM0v0dQnjI

The reason the debate came about is because Bill Nye claimed that creationists should keep their ideas to themselves and not teach them to their own children and he equated it with the destruction of scientific progress in the USA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHbYJfwFgOU begin at 1:45 mark. Also, scientists like Richard Dawkins equate teaching creation to child abuse.
Answers is Genesis posted a video refuting Nye’s argument and the debate was born out of that. Ken Ham isn’t forcing his worldview on anyone. The people that listen to him want to learn what he has to say and they want their children to learn it too. You have a problem with that? Bill Nye does!

That is the basic premise of the “Ultimate Proof of Creationism”.

That there is logic at all for the unbeliever to attempt to use to “debunk” the Creator.

He can teach his kids what they want, no law against that.

His Young Earth claims are the most problematic, which is why there are old Earth Creationists. They realized the required convolutions of fact and logic were too great for them to argue.

We definitely see what appears to be starlight.
