'''Barry Setterfield''' is a [[Young earth creationism|young earth creationist]] from [[Australia]] who is known for proposing that the speed of [[light]] was faster in the past. <ref>http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/2551/</ref>  In 1999, John Webb, a professor at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia,  and his colleagues reported astronomical observations suggesting that the value of the fine-structure constant (which is related to the speed of light) may have changed which they subsequently published in 2001 in ''[[Physical Review Letters]]''.<ref>http://www.nature.com/physics/highlights/6849-3.html#ref1</ref><ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/news/fine_structure.asp</ref>  If correct, then various theories that constants have always may need to be changed.<ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/news/fine_structure.asp</ref> When Barry Setterfield took the position that the speed of light was much faster in the past the main objection was the purported constancy of fundamental laws.<ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/news/fine_structure.asp</ref>
