And it is essential to Young Earth Creation “Scientists” to monkey with the speed of light. After all, if we see light from a galaxy one hundred million light years away, that, to any intelligent observer, would mean that the light took one hundred million years to reach earth.

So the speed of light IS used to try to define the time scale of the existence of the universe, and the preposterous ideas put forth by Creationists to explain away the clear and compelling data are the source of much amusement.

It’s essential for evos and scientists to monkey with the speed of light to explain how the entire known universe and beyond expanded to it’s present size in one trillion-trillionth of a second; which would put if at far greater speeds than the speed of light.

Or perhaps you could explain how the universe could expand faster than the speed of light that scientists say nothing can travel faster than?

Circular logic.
