In this article, we will examine a particularly embarrassing mistake made by Phillip Dennis in his fallacious attempt to prove the one-way speed of light in all directions must be the same as the round-trip speed. As with all his previous attempts, we will find that Dennis committed the fallacy of begging the question. Namely, he tacitly assumed an equation that arbitrarily presupposes the one-way speed of light at the start. This was the same error made in his previous attempts that I refuted last year (Lisle 2024). What makes his latest mistake particularly embarrassing is that it has already been refuted over 100 years ago (Eddington 1923)! Moreover, it has been refuted multiple times in the last century – including in my book, the Physics of Einstein (Lisle 2018).

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. It is the lightest element, consisting of one proton encircled by one electron. About 91% of the atoms in the universe are hydrogen. Helium is the next most abundant. It is the second-lightest element, consisting of two protons and two neutrons in the nucleus, encircled by two electrons. Helium constitutes just under 9% of the atoms in the universe. All the remaining elements combined constitute less than 1%. Astronomers refer to these heavier elements as metals. In astronomy, a metal is any element with an atomic number higher than 2. Note that this is different from the definition used by chemists. In astronomy metals include elements like oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon. Metals pose a serious challenge for advocates of the big bang and secular models of galaxy evolution. But they are a feature and natural expectation of biblical creation.

Our critic this week is Jake who is upset that I supposedly denounce science. Have a look at his message along with my comments.

The gap theory was one of the earlier attempts to reconcile the secular belief in deep time (millions of years) with the biblical timescale of around 6000 years. The gap theory does not stand up to scrutiny and has been thoroughly refuted.
