Michelson-Morley, Special Relativity, ...
The Michelson-Morley experiments were dealing with the proposed luminiferous aether and not with the one-way speed of light. With the advent of relativity we now know that it is impossible to measure the one-way speed of light and that a position dependent system can be stipulated.
The universe has been shown to be isotropic. We can measure the speed of light constantly while our position and orientation in the universe constantly vary. The same result is measured every time.
"One-way speed of light" is nonsense, just like "irreducible complexity". Just made-up shit to try to patch up an incoherent belief system.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
