Unfortunately, I don't understand more than the basics of this. However, it is clear that the "constants" that scientists claim "prove" the age of the universe and thus "disprove" Creation are in fact nothing more than flawed theories.

You get old, you slow down.
It happens.

Uh oh. There's going to be a light shortage. Light prices will zoom to 10 billion dollars per kilowatt. Batton down the hatches, arm the torpedoes, full speed ahead. Call SAC, call NORAD, call NATO and the UN (nevermind), Defcon Five, I tell ya!

There is a fanatical religion called Evolution. They will use only the flawed and biased information of a minority to force their opinion on the majority. Like college campuses around the country where the "Intellectually Tenured" who are an extreme minority dictate the politically correct trash that is now taught and spewed throughout our country.

Speed of light slowing down? I think there is evidence for this. I'm told that John Kerry gave his acceptance speech on Thursday, but I still haven't seen it.

However, it is clear that the "constants" that scientists claim "prove" the age of the universe and thus "disprove" Creation are in fact nothing more than flawed theories. Belief in Biblical creationism does not require a young earth. As a matter of fact, there are hundreds and hundreds of different types of data indicating that the earth is about 4 billion years old and the universe is about 14 billion years old. The changes in the speed of light talked about in these theories are either (1) so infinitesimal; or (2) occurred in such a short period of time (like perhaps minutes) that they're of no use for those clamoring for anything to prove that the universe is less than 10,000 years old.
The evidence for a young creation in the Bible is about the same as that for the earth being the center of the universe -- none. Clinging to young earth creationism (a man-made doctrine) only makes Christians look stupid. All truth is God's truth and we shouldn't be afraid of science.

Scientists have this goal of "I want to know" and I want it to occur while I'm alive. Hawkings retraction of his original black hole theory is a good example.
personally, I believe the Universe undulates, i.e., it is never constant. Any measurement, while they may be similar or "close" (predictable) will never be repeated at a different time.

Many have been trying to disprove Einstein's work, but so far, no cigar (oops, sorry Clinton)!!! But there is an interesting experiment in space (or about to be) in another attempt at confirming or denying the accuracy of the light constant. Should be interesting....
And yes, the velocity of liberal spin is much lower than that of truth, so we are still waiting for the arrival of Kerry's national policy and plans for America (other than a massive dose of Marxism...)... (chuckle)

Recycled Setterfield; he wasn't convincing the first time around, this isn't any better.

does this explain Satchel Paige?

A variation in the speed of light makes no difference in the fallacy of creationism.
If the speed of light is changing, then so ie the speed of chemical reactions and atomic decay.
Time itself is a constant because we define the universe that way. If time is defined as variable, it makes the calculations more complex, but does not change the results.
