Hi ASA
I wrote initially in Jim's defense but Glenn informed me that Lambert
Dolphin's site was a hot-house for Setterfieldites...

I did and if you read it openly you would notice some very strong evidence
for constant lightspeed since the decoupling of matter and photons some 300
kyrs after the Big Bang. Anything more recent has NO evidence beyond what
Setterfield has concocted.

I agree, to an extent. But some things in science are very well established
because they have survived every experiment thrown at them and are all
pervavsive in application... quantum mechanics for one, special relativity
in particle physics for another.
Unless something a whole lot more radical is revealed my agnosticism
requires me to be skeptically agnostic towards any claimed overturn of the
current order.
