a huge amount of fossils that look exactly the same as animals today, frogs
​
Perhaps this should be handled by an expert. But I think you have your facts a bit off. "exactly the same" implies the same species. I don't think you will be able to site a single case of a species lasting more than a few million years.
​
Addtionally, why would this be a problem. If the niche continues to exist and doesn't change to drastically the creatures in it may be subjected to selective pressure to stay about the same, not to change.
​
On your other point Mike, is there any specific point that you think you have come close to holding your own not to talk of winning a point?

Unfortunately Mike, any idea of changing light speed is certainly wrong over at least the time since supernova 1987a occured or about 170,000 years.
​
Any other idea of changing light speed is either confined to the initial moments of the universe and/or is wild eyed speculation.
