Let's be nice to him, Edge. Just for now.
This site No webpage found at provided URL: http://www.glenn.morton.btinternet.co.uk/geo.htm has a map showing where the entire geological column can be found in situ.
It is 100% consistent across the globe. We only ever find layers in the wrong order where there is clear evidence of massive earth movements such as folding and overthrusting.

You will find no book that actually systematically describes how the geological column arrived from a mainstream point of view. You will get a lot of books listing dozens of sedimneary environments. But no book will systematically go though 20 local geo-cols and tell you how it got there. If you find a book like that I'll buy it too.
I can get you a very informative book on how the various locals in the Peak District (Derbys/Staffs/Yorks/Cheshire) were formed. Interested?

The speed of light was originally measured by seeing how long it took to get to a mirror and back again. I don't know how it's done now.
Why should the speed of light decay? Why should any constant change? It's sensible enough to assume it doesn't and look for evidence it does. There is no such evidence, despite some very dodgy graph extrapolation that the creationists used to be keen on. I wonder if that one is still doing the rounds amongst the creationists themselves? Tends to happen - discredited arguments still circulate where itching ears are eager to hear them.
