Is the above true? If so, how does one demonstrate this to be the case?dad wrote: Changing some laws on earth is more like changing a speed limit sign.
If not, what are some physical consequences of changing a physical law outside of what one might expect?
My debate position is this: It is extremely uneducated and willfully ignorant to believe that changing a physical law only affects a limited domain of physical phenomena. For example, changing the speed of light to be faster doesn't just affect how quickly light reaches us; it also affects how quickly particles interact, the energy required for all physical interactions, and other sundry details that would, in essence, be very telling if they suddenly altered in an instant.
However, I am aware that both dad and Kent Hovind maintain that God is some sort of master engineer, complete with a box and dials that he can play with, turning some physical laws on and off while the rest remains unaffected. This is a position maintained by and expressed via ignorance and incredulity, with no physical basis or rationale behind it besides "God is awesome enough to get away with it."
So, any creationists wanna try and put it across that changing a physical law is like changing a speed limit sign?
