Houston I think we have a problem.

Time Dilation and Creation Science
For a more detailed treatment, see Starlight problem#Humphreys.27_model.
Creation scientists such as physicists Dr. Russell Humphreys and Dr. John
Hartnett have used relativistic time dilation to explain how the earth can
be only 6,000 years old even though cosmological data (background radiation,
supernovae, etc.) set a much older age for the universe.


Political aspects of relativity
Some liberal politicians have extrapolated the theory of relativity to
metaphorically justify their own political agendas. For example, Democratic
presidential candidate Barack Obama helped publish an article by liberal law
professor Laurence Tribe to apply the relativistic concept of "curvature of
space" to promote a broad legal right to abortion.[45] As of June 2008,
over 170 law review articles have cited this liberal application of the theory
of relativity to legal arguments.[46] Applications of the theory of
relativity to change morality have also been common.[47] Moreover, there is an
unmistakable effort to censor or ostracize criticism of relativity.[48]
Physicist Robert Dicke of Princeton University was a prominent critic[49]
of general relativity, and Dicke's alternative "has enjoyed a renaissance in
connection with theories of higher dimensional space-time."[50] Despite
being one of the most accomplished physicists in the 20th century, Dicke was
repeatedly passed over for a Nobel Prize, and in at least one case Dicke
was insulted by the award being granted to others for contributions more
properly credited to Dicke.
There has been little recognition by the Nobel Prize committee of either
theory of relativity, and particularly scant recognition of the Theory of
General Relativity.
