c=299,792,458 meters per second (1,079,252,848.8 km/h) in an empty vacuum, not in a chilled, super-vacuum injected sodium, nor in a "vapour of laser-irradiated atoms". Even glass will slow light by 2/3. Try again.
Similarly, a joint effort made by the Rowland Institute yielded equally impressive results. This team managed to bring light waves to a one mile per hour crawl and then stopped the beam entirely. They could literally capture, and re-release light, at their whim.
Hmmm can't find anything about 1 mile per hour... they claim "a pokey 38 miles per hour" and nothing about stopping entirely or capture and "re-release at their whim." And WTF is 're-release'? Try again.

"Debate is an art form. It is about the winning of arguments. It is not about the discovery of truth. There are certain rules and procedures to debate that really have nothing to do with establishing fact ” which creationists have mastered. Some of those rules are: never say anything positive about your own position because it can be attacked, but chip away at what appear to be the weaknesses in your opponent's position. They are good at that. I don't think I could beat the creationists at debate. I can tie them. But in courtrooms they are terrible, because in courtrooms you cannot give speeches. In a courtroom you have to answer direct questions about the positive status of your belief. We destroyed them in Arkansas. On the second day of the two-week trial we had our victory party!"
