The speed of light, stars, and YEC?

The YEC concept of the one-way speed of light using the Anisotropic Synchrony Convention can actually be tested, despite what is commonly believed. And, in fact, it already has, but no one else aside from me has apparently figured this out. I am in the process of writing Jason Lisle, the original author, and seeing what his thoughts are.

However, unless you believe the moon landings were a hoax, the lack of delay in radio transmissions from earth to moon and back is evidence that ASC is correct. Moon hoax conspiracy theorists actually use this as evidence that the moon landings never happened because they note that there is little to no delay in the original broadcast transmissions. This lack of delay confirms ASC.

So, yeah, radio communication is an easy way to test the one-way speed of light. You just need a large enough distance to test it. You don't measure it directly, but the delay in response is the indirect method to test. Because each transmission is a single way only.

Now you're wondering "Why didn't I think of that?"

No, I'm wondering when Dunning and Kruger finally get to collect their Nobel Prize...

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

You, uh, suffered any head trauma or consumed wild mushrooms recently, Alex?

Someone handed him a Bible, and he touched it before he looked to see what it was.

Don't worry, the contact was brief and the brain damage will heal. He'll recover in no time.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

Obviously the Moon Landings were faked. How the hell are you supposed to land on a hologram?

Oh it's definitely a hologram. If the sun is at point a and the moon is at point b, then why does it look like the light is hitting the moon from a different direction? Moon terminator illusion my ass!! Try a hiccup in your hologram math, bucko.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Yeah man!!11one!!!

Plus it fails completely pretty much every month, then the Satanic Engineers start repairing it bit by bit until it's complete, THEN it starts breaking down again. WAKE UP SHEEPLE.
