The world according to RJ and his buddies, the Earth, the solar system, the entire universe, is 6000 years old.
Ok, flying with that cosmology,
It would require a variable speed of light.
For instance, we know the speed of light very very well here on Earth.
We can, for instance, measure the distance changes of the moon directly by the retro-reflector left there by the Apollo astronauts.
We also know the speed of light very well by the Voyager probes, now out to about 5 billion miles, 8 billion Km, from the sun.
There is no variation we can measure directly out to 5 billion miles.
But the YEC cosmology would insist that say, for a star 10,000 light years away to have become visible now, c would have to be by definition, 1.6666c but the closer to Earth you get under that cosmology, the closer to c we measure here.
So going out to the edge of the universe, 13 billion light years, in order for that light to have reached us in the 6000 years old the Earth OBVIOUSLY is since we read the bible🙂 that means c has to be 16 TRILLION times the c we measure on Earth.
But we don't see any variation in c, directly measured by the light flight time to the voyagers, if that cosmology held water, c measured at the voyager distance would have to be ever so slightly faster than c here on Earth.
That would seem to put the cabosh on THAT particular cosmology.
What you you all think?
I put that to RJ in spirituality to see what he comes up with.
I am sure he will find some rational for it all. After all, the bible is the word of GOD.......
