Check mate.
That's not checkmate. Why would AiG add it on their list of arguments creationists shouldn't use if no creationists use it any more? If all creationists were in agreement then there would be no reason to tell them to not use a long list of long-debunked arguments which makes them look bad. That's what's different between creationism and actual science: Creationists continue using the same tired old ad hoc arguments while science either discards ridiculous hypotheses or rejects them to begin with.
But if you're going to claim no creationists still use c-decay as an argument:

Checkmate. You were wrong. Some creationists do still claim the speed of light changed 6,000 years ago.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
