Doors numbers 2 and 3. It was ad hoc when they invoked it to explain the anomalous advance of Mercury’s perihelion prior to General Relativity and it’s no less ad hoc now.

What evidence? Keep in mind that saying that it must exist in order to make your cosmology fit what we observe is not actual evidence.
Quote: Btw: The claim that creation models explain or predict this relation is rather doubtful. They usually can accomodate anything, because it's easy to say "sure, God did that as well". They are therefore worthless
Do you have any examples? It’s difficult to tell which creation cosmologies you are even referring to.
