God stretched out the heavens. -- It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: - Isaiah 40:22
Also scientists have changed the speed of light, it does not remain constant.

The speed of light in a vacuum is a physical constant. Like just about everything in science, it's taken us time to narrow down its speed but we have it worked out quite well now. Here's a brief history of experimentation and estimation. It was estimated to within 1210 Km/s of our current accurate understanding in 1726! http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SpeedOfLight/measure_c.html
Saying that our estimates of the speed of light have changed over time doesn't do anything to refute the fact that the light from M51 has traveled for about 23 million years to reach us. If you want to further argue in defense of ignorance I suggest using a better argument.
Yes Noganoo, I am aware of the full title of the book, I have a copy sitting on my shelf, but for the sake of brevity, I shortened it to its popular title.
I don't know what mathmaticians you speak of, who busy themselves in the science of biology when making their calculations. But I never said evolution happens over an infinite amount of time, I said; achingly long time.
Anyway, evolution is a 100% scientific fact, it is absolutely unarguable, whilst, like any other theory, it may be amended in future to allow for new discoveries (rather like Newton's Theory Of Gravity), it will not be fundamentally changed.
Any mathematician who says there must be a creator, is a theologian, or a religious mathematician who is basing that statement on her religious beliefs, not mathematical.
Oh and here's a pretty Hindu quote for you, which is as meaningless as any quote from any holy text, including the one you posted... Nice sentiment though, which is probably the original point of most religions.
