The universe appears "old", but it is still less than 10,000 years old

They do not claim this either. I really wish you guys would actually learn the material before trying to address it.

Google is your friend:

http://creation.com/speed-of-light-slowi...-after-all\

Quote:Well over a decade ago, CMI’s Creation magazine published very supportive articles concerning a theory by South Australian creationist Barry Setterfield, that the speed of light (‘c’) had slowed down or ‘decayed’ progressively since creation.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Starlight_problem

Quote:To solve the starlight problem, some creationists have proposed a change in the speed of light; this proposition became known as C-decay. The idea was first systematically advanced by creationist Barry Setterfield in his 1981 book The Velocity of Light and the Age of the Universe. Setterfield claimed that, at the date of creation, light traveled millions of times faster than it does today and has been decaying exponentially ever since.

Quote:My father, at that time, was convinced that the speed of light has been slowing down since the creation of the universe.

http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles...ight-prove

Quote:But some people have proposed that light was much quicker in the past. If so, light could traverse the universe in only a fraction of the time it would take today. Some creation scientists believe that this is the answer to the problem of distant starlight in a young universe.

etc, etc, etc...

You may admit that you are wrong now.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
