Claims made without evidence can and will be dismissed without evidence. If you substitute 'divine law' for 'harry potter' you will understand this, you will not accept it however: You are too blinded by confirmation bias.
If there is no evidence either way, the only conclusion we can come to is "we don't know", or possibly "there is probably no moral law". But MR made a claim of certainty:

If he said there might be no moral law or there's probably no moral law, then he would have just been dismissing SBIH. But he made a claim of his own: That there is NO moral law.
I won't make a double standard though: I'm not completely certain that Harry Potter never existed. But people who believe he did had better have a pretty good reason.

So does that mean that anything anyone imagines at any given point in time has to be taken at face value with an equal degree of certainty and uncertainty?

I think hitchens was spot on with his rebuttal to this, as posted by MR just a page pack.
