Be careful also about the equivocation between the two meanings of "law":
1) A declaration that certain actions will be met with certain consequences (in its simplest form)
2) A literal restriction which shapes what can and can't happen (such as gravity)
Clearly there is no moral law with regard to the second definition. There should be, if God was concerned, as Hammy noted earlier. But apparently he thinks limiting our ability to jump to the moon is more important than limiting our ability to smash a baby's head in with a wrench.
