I heard that the speed of light could actually be slowing down.

that from the the moment of the inception of the universe, for less than an instant, the speed of light was almost infinite and has since slowed.

so I looked it up.

most of the sights I found were creationist sights, which from experience, I have found to be less than solid in regards to fact checking. Although I can appreciate the sentiment and enthusiasm, I would like to leave the science to the scientists.

... ... ...

really quickly though, the ramifications of the speed of light slowing down could have huge implications on science and religion... the universe could really not be as old as we first believed, special relativity et al would need revision, creationist could really have something on evolutionists...

first of all, I don't think creation and evolution are mutually exclusive - there really is no frame of reference during the first five days in which God created everything up to man - I mean, no one was there but God, so who is to say what is God's time? Maybe that first day was five billion years, and then he went by the Earth's rotation after that...

whatever.

in any case...

so I found that perhaps light maybe isn't really slowing down at all, according to people at nasa... something about annihilation of particles from a black hole or something...

whatever.

the big bang and creationism are not mutually exclusive.

and special relativity is nothing more than tautology...

[and I'm not ashamed to say that I just learned that word - so I just felt like using it]
