[Can you name a natural law that's changed?]
The weather is a natural law is it not? Doesn't that change all the time? Are hurricanes natural laws? Yet they come and go!

Nope, natural laws are mathematical representations of the real world, so they don't change. Plus, "laws" are really just theories from before theory was in commons useage: look at Newton's Laws, which are close to right, but don't actually work under some conditions, which is why we have relativity (and that has some cases where it doesnt work either, which is why it is still being refined).
This comment holds less water than a sieve. Of tissue paper. On Mercury at high noon.
tracer #65048 Don't forget -- due to Mercury's lack of any axial tilt, the poles are never in direct sunlight and could in theory contain frozen water ice.
Tracer, that's why I referred to HIGH noon -- i.e., when the sun is overhead, which would never be the case at the poles.
Actually, I almost referred to Venus instead, which is about 730 degrees C all over the planet all the time, but I figured that Mercury would be a more dramatic example. I should have realized that someone as pedantic as I am would call me on it here.

Weather is mutable, but it still follows set "laws."
If it didn't, how the hell would we be able to predict the weather with even reasonable accuracy?
George Carlin would be proud.

Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
