Re: Young universe
Hello, Mr. Creationist.
Unfortunately, I am not well-versed enough in General Relativity to judge Humphrey's work.
However, I think that there is a pretty good theological reason to find it unacceptable. An omnipotent god could have just "snapped her fingers" and had the universe just come into being as it is. No white holes, no changes in the speed of light, no accelerated nuclear decay, no red shifts.
Humphrey's "solution" has the same exact problem as the "light in transit" idea -- God purposely, for no good reason, creates the universe with the appearance of age.

Re: Young universe
This is exactly why in another thread I made the statement that Calvinist predestination is the only evangelical position that makes any sense. It is impossible to believe the traditional "free will" version of evagelism: that a just and good god will require belief and trust in him to avoid eternal torment when that god allows clear and unambiguous evidence that his teachings are false.
