Comet 3I/ATLAS is not expected to get very close to Earth; the closest it will come is approximately 1.8 astronomical units (about 170 million miles or 270 million kilometers)

Yes, I just affirmed the Big Bang Theory, over its first 24 hours anyway; it's just that I use Magueijo lightspeed decay to question the OEC assumption.
I do reject macroevolution due to the Klee diagrams as I hinted. The simple fact is that abiogenesis requires instant assembly of a self-replicating organism, which the Minimal Genome Project puts at about 500,000 base pairs for the bacterium "Synthia". This is so mathematically improbable to be called technically impossible (given the size of spacetime). So when the creationist simply proposes 10,000 instances of abiogenesis as opposed to 1, he's not proposing anything less impossible. Suddenly fixity of species is back on the table!
Yeah, there are ideas about God's perspective being relatively six days but not mechanically so. That might end up being isomorphic with mine, in time. My idea comes from Setterfield and Dolphin that it really is mechanically six days, and that lightspeed has changed in the past (based on Setterfield's radiation measurements as well as the sketchy history of lightspeed measurement). The evidence for this is that the recent invention of dark matter and dark energy has no function other than to create indetectable agents to rightly measure the total mass of the universe. Well, it might be easier to get the mass and timeframe of the universe to add up rightly if you just start tweaking lightspeed, which is being explored as a real scientific possibility by a few folks, than by inventing a new undetectable substance that is greater than all detected mass but sits and does nothing but provide gravity to hold the universe together for the billions of years imagined. So I do like to throw about the "evolution stumpers" regularly.
I do change my view if it doesn't successfully account for new facts. Getting back to OP, that's exactly what scientists will have to do if we keep finding interstellars overtaking the sun from the south with a high frequency contrary to prediction.
Never heard of that. I get early measurement of light speed being sketchy and difficult, but lightspeed decay would require the electric permittivity and magnetic permeability of pure vacuum to be fundamentally variable... or require an entire fundamentally new theory of electromagnetism.
Yeah the entire construct is bullshit, a nice little hypothetical stopgap fudge factor of "we don't know why our measurements don't line up with our theory, but we'd rather have a placeholder than go back to the drawing board."
I have seen some interesting hypotheses and models that match observation and theory without dark energy bullshit, the most intriguing one being something so stupidly obvious it's unbelievable someone didn't think of it earlier -- if you set the universe as a rotating system rather than linearly expanding one, the measurements line up without any bullshit factors. But that's still very much a work in progress.
