Easy arguments against the Bible, and religion as a whole

[chi pan]

yes, many theories based on the fact that the universe is how it always was. what if light was once faster than it was now? what if it's speed is slowing down? if any of these arguements are true then those arguements don't hold water

Do you have any evidence that these arguments are plausible? If so, we can discuss them here. There are proponents of these arguments, to be sure. I believe we have a thread that has addressed this topic in some detail.

If I recall correctly, the observational evidence doesn't support those arguments. I'm not satisfied with the sources I have immediately available, and I don't have the time right this second to investigate further. I will later if you're earnestly interested in the information. You are free of course to investigate on your own.

well this is really a tangent off the main topic but i suppose i'll support some evidence. not looking very far but here.

Light, which normally travels the 240,000 miles from the Moon to Earth in less than two seconds, has been slowed to the speed of a minivan in rush-hour traffic -- 38 miles an hour.
