The fact that you think the one-way speed of light is an inherent property of Nature and not a mere stipulation; that completely contradicts the conventionality thesis.

I do not personally attack you, believe me I could.
Quote:Referring to my ex-wife's Jewry is an appeal to authority? Perhaps you should reconsider that bullshite argument.
Yes, anytime you make an appeal to someone fallible and who does not possess the proper credentials you’re making a fallacious appeal to authority. I do not make the rules, I merely enforce them sir.
Quote:So what you are saying is that you know my ex-wife better than I do. I suspect she would be surprised to learn of this.
No, I am saying that I know that Freundel is more qualified to comment upon such matters since he is the World’s leading expert.
Quote: That is not what I claimed. Do I need to give you a lesson in reading comprehension?
Oops! Pherhaps it is you who needs to learn how to comprehend what you wrote! I quote you directly from Post#293…
Quote: In the mean time, have you ever wondered why the only people who believe the book of genesis is anything but a work of mythology are evangelical Christians?
[Emphasis added by SW]
Sure sounds to me like you’re saying the only people who believe in a young Earth are evangelical Christians considering that’s exactly what you said.
Quote: The fact remains that those who believe in a young Earth are far outnumbered by those who don't, many of whom are religious. So you are basically a Calvanist. You have my sympathies.
Changing your tune now I see. The number of people who believe something is irrelevant to whether it is true or not. The overwhelming majority of people reject naturalism, are you going to now relinquish it?
Not “basically” a Calvinist, I am one.
Quote:Learn to read.
Learn to not refute yourself!
Quote: Getting back to our original discussion, there are plenty of equations that imply or else provide mathematical proofs of the finite speed of light.
Two-way yes.
Quote: Can you show us a valid equation that implies that light can travel instantaneously, as you and your mentor claims?
Absolutely!
