That is what the Islamic fundamentalists argued to shut down scientific progress in the Arab-Islamic world back in the Medieval period. They claimed those who thought nature is governed by natural law limited Allah's freedom of action. Trying to find natural laws was a waste because Allah at any moment can change them and further such laws were blasphemous. Shows how Ham and his ilk go against millenia of Christian philosophy and theology that has supported scientific research.
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!
