RE :”I did not see starlight discussed in this article. I believe they were trying to consider what the raw evidence would suggest..”

My point is that if you promote the idea that time speeds up and slows down to meet some Biblical creation timeline that conflicts with the evil Darwinists timeline, maybe accusing THEM (geologists in this case) of creating a fictional timeline to support their (evolutionists in this case) evolution ideas is not a good idea.

It would look better for creationists if it were those dishonest Darwinists speeding up and slowing down time to meet THEIR timeline. Maybe this could be refined before we throw it at 9th graders in public schools. Maybe creationists could poll this theory like they do creation vs evolution, or is it like the Health reform plan, popular as long as no one knows what in it??

So does all this mean the Moon is further away than evolutionists claim too? How about my commute to work?

Actually, it is the Big Bangers who have a starlight problem because light has not had enough time to travel across the Universe and create a uniform CBR. Indeed, the evo Big Bangers even speculated that light may have traveled faster in the past to try and explain it!

On the other hand, distand starlight is no problem at all for creation cosmology. And it is “fortunate that creationists did not invent such concepts as gravitational time dilation, black and white holes, event horizons and so on, or we would likely be accused of manipulating the data, or fantasizing, to solve this problem. The interesting thing about Humphreys’ cosmology is that it is based upon mathematics and physics accepted by all cosmologists (general relativity), and it accepts (along with virtually all physicists) that there has been expansion in the past (though not from some imaginary dimensionless point). The results ‘fall out’ so long as one abandons the arbitrary starting point which big bangers use (the unbounded cosmos idea, which could be called ‘what the experts don’t tell you about the big bang’).”

It has been demonstrated that time is not a constant. Nor is the speed of light.
