Since we know how fast light moves and how far away certain stars are from the earth wouldn't any star being more then 6000 light years away disprove the young earth theory, or at least a young universe?

The data indicates that that the speed of light was around 2.6% faster in 1675 then it is today.
I highly doubt that because the implications on Special Relativity would be enormous. Quite frankly if anyone debunked Special Relativity it would certainly achieve world headlines.
I'm familiar with Humphrey's Setterfield's work, which once you get passed all the distortion basically says that God made it appear as if the earth is old, but is actually not.
It's an absurdity.
