Any measure of the speed of light, be it one-way, or two-way, that involves a fraction of a fraction of a percent difference in measurement is never going to give you a result that is any closer to a 10,000 year old universe than the currently known standard speed of light in a vacuum. Since the difference will always be a fraction of a fraction of a difference, + or -, you are still going to have a result that approximates 299,792,458 m / s. Given the distance to the most distant object known using current light measurements, you will never get a result that will give you a 10,000 year old universe, no matter how much special pleading you do. why? Because it will never change the standard candle enough to make such a significant difference between what we know it to be, and what the warped one wants it to be.

I'm having to use my phone at the moment, I'll read the articles when I get a chance.
Please do. Read the articles.

"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!
