"How long before the young earthers show up here?"

How long is a light year?
Has it always been thus?
How do you know?
What if the speed of light is not a constant?
What do we do when our "yardstick" may be suspect?

When you can prove the speed of light has changed, then we can revisit the age of teh universe, although it more than likely will prove to be even older than the current ~14 billion year estimate that is current. How do I know? Look at the data from ALL of the experiments measuring the speed of light, and the results are all in agreement @ 186000 MPS. What do we do when our "yardstick" may be suspect? What science always does, develop a new one, but first you have to prove the old one is broken, and others must be able to reproduce the results confirming it is broken.
