Abstract

This publication summarizes a symposium focused on the intriguing idea of variable constants of nature, a concept considered paradoxical from a traditional physics perspective. The document highlights discussions among creation scientists exploring whether fundamental constants like the speed of light and radioactive decay rates might have changed over time. This exploration is driven by the desire to develop models consistent with a young-Earth creationist viewpoint, particularly in addressing challenges like the vast distances of stars and radiometric dating. The summary outlines various proposed models and the scientific and theological implications of accepting such variability, revealing a dynamic debate within the creation science community.
