Dr. Lisle, I have a friend who has some specific questions about your calculations in your book "Taking Back Astronomy." Would I be able to post them here for you to answer? Or would it be better to send them to you directly somehow? They seem to be very good questions and I would be interested in hearing your response.
Blessings,
Steve Johnson

Arlen,
Not to pre-empt Dr. Lisle, but his "local time" convention is the Anisotropic Synchrony Convention, I believe, which you can read about here: http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/arj/v3/n1/anisotropic-sync....

In the New Answers Book 1, you mentioned that starlight travelling to earth could be similar to the way an airplane travels west. You also said that the bible could have been using the "much more common" local time, rather than universal time. Could you please explain what you mean in more detail?

I just downloaded the chapter linked here and look forward to reading through it. I have read Starlight and Time by Dr Humphreys and was wondering if your research is anywhere along similar lines.

Greetings Dr. Lisle,
Let me first express my respect for your field and appreciation for your recent contribution in the Anisotropic Synchrony Convention. While I can't say I understand everything, I appreciate having a resonable response to the Distant Starlight issue.
Along those lines, while reading responses to your article I came upon a qeustion about: "the permeability and permittivity constants" in relation to magnets and electromagnetic waves. I couldn't find any other material on these, and was wondering:
A) What are these, and how do they relate to the speed of light, and
B) Are they dependant upon convention selected as well, eliminating any potential problem?Thank you for your time!
Brian Guiley
