I have studied it for a couple hours using negatives to see if there is any sign of photoshop manipulation and I haven't really seen any.
There are lots of ways to do a hoax without manipulating a photograph. Like the giant in a box this could involve carved stone or other material.
That website is strictly apologists playing to the credulous. They were claiming:
Secular Scientists Discover Light Speed Has Changed
(8/15/2001) In what is the final death knell of the hypothesis of an ancient Universe, secular scientists have discovered that the speed of light -- which evolutionists have always maintained to be a constant -- has changed over time. Creation Science has long predicted that light speed would have varied, accounting for our ability to see objects more than ten thousand "light years" away even though the Universe is less than ten thousand years old. This new study provides stunning confirmation of this prediction, strengthening the scientific case for the correct Genesis model of Cosmology.
But this is just total hype.
"What we've seen is that the structure of these atoms must be very slightly different, just so slightly, that the frequency of light that's involved in bumping the electrons from one orbit to the next is just a little bit different."
This implies that something in the early universe behaved differently. Because the speed of light is one factor in the fine structure constant equation, it might be it that has changed over time, Churchill said. Or it could be that unknown properties of the early universe forced atoms and electrons to behave in ways researchers don't understand.
The guy who runs that site appears to be a sincere Christian YEC, but willing to seize and misrepresent any little thing to promote his cause. He uses no discrimination at all. I find his site a total waste of time, it's only use is to mislead people.
