I sure hope the hard science types here take a look at your site and give their feedback here.
What will be more interesting is to see whether creationliberty bothers to "tighten up" the science on his web page after learning a bit.
Why would a YEC proponent bother trying to prove that light can travel slowly in a vacuum? Slow light just makes the universe appear older. Wouldn't slow light make it even harder to explain why we can see distant objects in a 6000 year old universe? Further, when we measure distances to distant galaxies using standard candle techniques, the distance measure does not depend on the speed of light. Even if we discard all of the Hubble law based distances, distances measured using Cepheids and Type 1A supernovae make the visible universe way to big to be only a few thousand years old.
Take a peek at the measurements of distance to the Virgo cluster using techniques that don't depend on the speed of light...
