I think the current trend is that [the speed of light] is slowing down, but we are talking small variations in an enormous speed.

Yes. The current theories in physics that light is slowing down are talking about billion-year time frames. None of this can explain why we see galaxies that are millions of light-years away if the universe is less than 10,000 years old.

Perhaps there is a time warp involved?

It's just a jump to the left! and a step to the right!

One solution is that light was carried along with the stretching of the space/time fabric so that the initial light from far away objects was present constantly from the beginning.

God created Adam a mature man - blood already flowing through his veins...

...God created the universe "mature" so to speak.
