Personal Update is the monthly Newsletter of Koinonia House Ministries.

Charles "Chuck" Missler is an author, conservative Bible teacher, and founder of the Koinonia House ministry based out of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

If you want to post a credible scientific article on the speed of light, perhaps a minister is not your best source.

If you don't like the messenger , you don't read the article.

First read the article and absorb the empirical data with it's hypothetical
construct then comment.

To be fair, Chuck Missler was involved in a lot of other stuff before becoming a minister (excuse the stinky formatting, please).

Missler headed/or was involved in Strategic corporate development projects for Rockwell International, Ford Motor Company, TRW, Western Digital Corporation, as well as U.S. and foreign governments. Missler was Senior participant in highly classified projects serving the intelligence community and the Department of Defense. (SAMCOM-USSR, DSL, JCS, USACADA, DOJ); He was on the Board of Directors of the Computer and Communications Industry Association; served on the board of directors of over a dozen public companies and was chairman and CEO of six of them; specialized in rescuing troubled technology companies; honors graduate, U.S. Naval Academy; pioneer in computer technologies and participated in the development of some of the most exotic, top-secret military systems, including the Stealth bomber and anti-submarine warfare; served on projects for the former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, former chief of naval operations and former Secretary of the Treasury.; 

[Missler's] plans to pursue a doctorate in electrical engineering at Stanford University were interrupted when he received a Congressional appointment to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. Graduating with honors, Chuck took his commission in the Air Force.  After completing flight training, he met and married Nancy, who became a Christian under the tutelage of Henrietta Mears ]. Chuck joined the Missile Program and eventually became Branch Chief of the Department of Guided Missiles.  Chuck made the transition from the military to the private sector when he became a systems engineer with TRW, a large aerospace firm. He then went on to serve as a senior analyst with a non-profit think tank where he conducted projects for the intelligence community and the Department of Defense. During that time, Chuck earned a master's degree in engineering at UCLA, supplementing previous graduate work in applied mathematics, advanced statistics and information sciences. . . In the 1970s, while still in the corporate world, Chuck began leading weekly Bible studies at the 30,000-member [Chuck Smith's] Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, in California. He and Nancy established Koinonia House in 1973.

Missler is currently Manager and SWANsat Principle 53 : "The SWANsat Project will place a constellation of three high-powered satellites into operation: One spacecraft will serve Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and western Asia. One spacecraft will serve North, Central, and South America. One spacecraft will serve central and east Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the central Pacific. When operated together, all three spacecraft will provide coverage of the entire globe, except for polar areas." 54

Your belief in evolution does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

I just did a quick google search and all the first hits were from creationists. I know I’ve read a scientific article about this, but am not going to dig through all the biased nonsense to find it. It is frustrating when non-scientists try to be scientists and muddle the pure stuff in the process.

You seem to have left off the more relevant details of his background. Unless you think that being a conservative Bible teacher automatically disqualifies the rest.

I trust it was an honest omission?
