This is all old stuff, but I'll have a lash.
1. The article suspects that the speed of light may be 'faster in space'. This is idiotic, as the speed is light is the speed of light IN space.
2. This one is the same old hack about the Earth's magnetic field decay rate. The rate fluctuates, it doesn't constantly decay.
3. The Earth is slowing down. Indeed it is, at the rate of about 2/100 000ths of a second per year. This means that after 4.5 (roughly) billion years, the length of a year would shorten 25 hours. Big fat hairy deal.
4. Sun shrinkage. Utter bollocks, as the sun does NOT constantly shrink. It oscillates on an 80-odd year cycle.
5. Not answerable, as the website uses a Biblical passage.
6. A horrible misquote of John Eddy's, not worthy of reply.
7. Displays a stunning ignorance of celestial mechanics, and whether Saturn's rings could coalesce.
8. I suspect this is something they made up, as I checked several sources and was unable to find a moon of Saturn called 'Insolitus'.
9. Whinging about titan's atmosphere, forgetting that Titan is covered in dirty, dirty clouds.
10. Mercury's magnetic field is not decaying. The authors of the article can't seem to grasp that Mercury is a hot place.
11. Once again, creationists are stumped by basic arithmetic. The seem to think that 64 people built the pyramids.
I'm not going to do the rest. It's just more of the same - willful ignorance coupled with deliberate dishonesty. Can't say I'm surprised.
