You will be shocked to learn that he claims to work in a scientific field. But then he is an American.

I knew that. Clearly he isn't in any scientific field, and clearly he is an embarrassment to all Americans.

So, warped one. Even if the measurement of the speed of light was off by the tiny amount shown (and even if that tiny difference was not measurement error), you still cannot get a 10,000 year old universe. What you would have to argue is that the speed of light was vastly different up until the time we first started measuring it. And I must say, if that is your argument, it fails miserably.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
