You only need to change one - the IQ of the person interpreting the
evidence. If you can let that value approach zero, you can show that
the evidence supports a young universe, a young Earth, and a creation
week.

Constants...we're talking constants here. As we well know, IQ is
inherently variable.

According to creationist the constants like Planck's and the speed of
light are not constant. In fact, the speed of light is decreasing
about the same rate as their IQs.

I'm not a physicist, but if anyone wants to give it a try.
Creationists are trying to claim that the speed of light was much
faster in the past so that light from all the distant galaxies could
get to earth in 10,000 years. Even the ones that are billions of light
years away. They also claim that radioactive decay was much greater in
the past so that they can account for the isochrons and amount of
radioactive decay that has obviously happened in the earth rocks. Now
take E = mC^2 with an astronomically faster speed of light (I think
[...snip...]

My understanding is that the derivation of E=mc^2 is dependent
on a constant speed of light.

It is also dependent on a constant m (mass).

On the other hand the Einstein equation:

f = ma

is better written as f = dP/dt where P is momentum, or mv, that is,
mass times velocity.

f = d(mv)/dt = m dv/dt + v dm/dt.

dv/dt is acceleration, written as a.
dm/dt is zero, provided the mass is constant.

Therefore, in the case of constant mass, f = ma.
