Re: [asa] New interp of distant starlight

Humphries also tries to claim that a geocentric universe will allow
young-earth interpretation of the astronomical evidence. Perhaps in part
they have bought into the claim that rejection of geocentrism was a triumph
of rationalism? It doesn't work, but then neither do other young-earth
models.

Does anyone know of a young earth claim based on asserting that the speed of
light in a medium is the fastest that anything can go in that medium? If
this paleobiologist can remember how to spell Cerenkov radiation, it
seems like an odd error for a physicist to make. At least one Nobel was for
studying particles traveling faster than the speed of light in a particular
medium. Wile's middle school textbook makes that error. He doesn't make
any argument based on it, just an incorrect homework problem or two.
