The speed of light is determined by the permittivity and permeability of space. Why should one or both of those factors be constant over time other than the fact that it makes it easier for us to make sense of the world? I hate to break it to you, but without God, there is no reason to think the world was created in such a way as to ease the difficulty in making sense of it.

If someone claims the speed of light changes over time, you really can't just dismiss it as poppycock. It probably is constant over time....but we don't know for sure that it is.

Hate to break it to you, but any claim unaccompanied by evidence must be dismissed as poppycock.

You can really shut up now. Our opinion of you is already as low as it can get, opening your mouth some more would no longer have any practical effect.
