Abstract
The velocity of light, c, has been calculated using many different methods since 1676 (for a list, see Froome and Essen, 1969). Recent creationists say the estimates have shown a decreasing trend, and posit the bold hypothesis that c has decayed from an infinite velocity at the big bang. This hypothesis harmonizes a young earth (10,000 years or so) with stars that are millions of present-c-light years distant from earth.
