Welcome to BAUT. This is new to me too, though I don't spend much time following YEC arguments. My suggestion would be, if you choose to respond, ask for references. It will probably be some YEC website, but you might at least be able to get more of the background for this notion.

Also, I find this interesting:

We have been measuring gravity for 300 years and it has been decaying at a constant rate year after year.
The margin of error is much smaller today than it would have been 300 years ago. It wouldn't surprise me if somebody is ignoring the limits of accuracy in some old measurement and is making a naive comparison to modern measurements.
