Evolution has been used a lot in medical research. Does that mean that Satan is healing people now?

I have no idea. I am also baffled as to why theists seem unable to accept the possibility of a deity/Creator who isn't omnibenevolent.

It is safe to say that it hasn't changed for the 13.4 billion years that photons have been moving across our universe. Not that you disagree, but it is worth pointing out.

E = m*c^2. By the energy conservation law, an increase in c requires a decrease in m such that E is constant (namely, the ratio of the low m to our m is equal to the square of the ratio of the high c to our c).
I never thought of it from the first law of thermo POV. How does this affect the gravitational constants?

I'm stepping out of my comfort zone, so please correct me if I misstep. Einstein's general theory equates gravity to acceleration which seems to be independent of c. So we can (I hope) assume that gravity is unaffected by a change in c. If mass is decreased by energy remains the same then the Sun would have acutally been smaller in the past. Why? As I stated before, a star's size is determined by two opposing forces: the outward pressure produced by fusion (governed by E=mc^2) and gravity. The rate of fusion is also governed by mass and gravity. The more mass there is the more fusion reactions per second which is why large stars burn hotter and faster than smaller stars. Would this mean that stars would be the same size if 1) c changed, AND 2) energy is conserved?

Of course, this is all Creationist-level science, and is therefore baloney. c is a constant

Which is why those assumptions are tested. The speed of light in a vacuum is a well tested and well supported assumption. For example, microsecond puslars and Supernova 1987a clearly point to a constant speed of light over many millions of years.

So then, why do you provide a link which claims 167 thousand years?

Assuming that current physical models are correct, I don't see why G would alter. Of course, I have yet to study General Relativity in any depth, and GR places a cap on force (as Special Relativity places a cap on velocity). Maybe there's an equation somewhere with both G and c...

They would be the same size if energy is conserved, since the outward pressure from the Sun's core is simply the result of energy released by fusion. So if energy is conserved, no 'bonus' energy is being released, and so the outward pressure remains the same.

Thinking about it, though... if a fermion has less mass in order to conserve energy, that may actually decrease the energy released by thermonuclear fusion: less mass is actually converted back into energy.
So stars should be smaller in the past. Yes. Hurrah for independantly correlating conclusions!

Variable physical constants invoked to effectively refute empirical data, thus allowing an a priori assumed worldview to remain possible? If you smell smoke, see smoke, and feel a bit hot, there's probably a fire.

Because it's at least 167,000 years. Other evidences push back this age further still.

Supernova 1987a and microsecond pulsars are but a small portion of the evidence. The speed of ligh (c) is a part of every equation that governs the characteristics of supernova. We see these same characteristics both in Supernova 1987a and in supernova in distant galaxies millions of light years away. We see constant radioactive decay in naturally occuring nuclear reactors near Oklo, Africa.

Besides, SN 1987a shoots a big hole in a universe that is supposed to be, at most, 10,000 years old, does it not?
