It’s just a convention. So is what is used in standard special relativity (that is why it is called the Einstein synchronization CONVENTION).<br /><br />The problem with Lisle comes when you observe the universe. If light moves at c in every direction (that is, if the one way speed of light equals the two way speed of light), as is assumed by the Einstein synchronization convention, we should expect far away galaxies to look younger than nearer galaxies (due to light having a finite speed on its way here). And of course that is exactly what we see. But if we use Lisle’s convention, light from all galaxies regardless of distance should get here at the same time: so why should further away objects look younger? He’d have to answer with “God arbitrarily chose to make it that way.” <br /><br /><br />And of course, that has nothing to do with his synchronization convention, but rather with his assumption that all the light in the universe should reach Earth instantly COMBINED with his assumption that all the bodies in the heavens were made at the same time: 6,000 years ago.
