If it disagrees with experiments, it's wrong.

If there hasn't been an experiment, it's not right, but it's not wrong either.

I'll allow math to be considered a weak form of experiment. :3

So, has there been math done for it?

Both of those things will have to be consigned to the "hypothesis" bin until there's some actual proof behind them. And thus the dinosaur vs ninja battle will have to remain unknown for now.

Before we bother, we need to prove that it's possible.

OK, the same guy just said that it's used as a creationist argument.

I've asked him if he knows what a creationist is.
The variable-speed-of-light hypothesis is (or was) used as a creationist argument. Clearly, the speed of light used to be faster, and thus the universe (and Earth) is only about 6,000 years old rather than the 14 billion according to what we can see of the universe.

I don't make it up, I just report it :|

Like I said, I just report it. I don't even begin to try and follow it.

The reasoning is unclear, but it justifies the visible universe being huge.

the reasoning is simple, you believe the bible states the truth, but you also believe that the world makes sense, so you try and find something that explains a world that makes sense and still allows the bible to match observed facts. and you try *really* hard
