And, of course, the objection is just one of the old, bogus antievolution arguments.

See:

Claim CE411:
The speed of light was faster in the past, so objects millions of light-years away are much younger than millions of years.

Claim CE411.1:
Physicists Joao Magueijo at London's Imperial College and Andreas Albrecht at U. C. Davis say the speed of light immediately after the beginning of the universe was many times faster than it is now, and it has been slowing ever since.

Claim CE425:
The red shift from distant galaxies has been interpreted as a Doppler effect from the universe expanding. However, it may instead be due to "tired light." Photons age and shift to the red after a very very long time.

See also the Dopeler effect.
