Another concise and informative post - thanks a million. I've been waiting decades to get this info. I suspected - who wouldn't ( except those on he take) - the current 'orthodoxy' was mostly forcing observation to fit theory and not the other way around but never had the time to do the research. You are more tenacious. So thanks again for all your work and posts. Keep them coming. May I respectfully suggest a specific post on the whole vexed question of red shifting? What exactly is it? How is it detected? How is it used to 'explain' expansion? Also how about a look a cepheid variable stars and how they are used to work out the cosmic distance scale? That move always seemed highly dodgy to me. Also a summary of an alternative theory that better helps us understand current observations. For me, having read your posts, black holes are a fantasy; the universe is not expanding; the BB never happened; the distance scale is all wrong; we have no clue how stars are made or why they explode. Cosmology really is the best arena to do battle with Scientism. We can win this. That victory can serve to define the proper use of the scientific method and help stop the abuse in other domains ( maybe).
Thanks David. Good questions and ideas. Will put something together on Redshifting - Halton Arp and others deposited a tonne of material on why it proves young star ages - but as you know, that evidence is simply airbrushed away by the 'fact checkers' and those on the Bang payroll. Cepheid variable stars is an interesting one as well. The entire time-distance calculcations within Banging are model predictions based on unproven assumptions but you never read or hear about the assumptions. They parade around with definitive statements and confident calculations that are quite specific with no error margins. That is unscientific. And for many reasons they completely ignore time dilation. It is not a straight measurement - based on what their own theory believes. There are dissenters but they are marginalised pretty quickly and their papers and books have the nasty habit of being buried or burnt. Even whistleblowers are ignored (like they were in the Apollo program, or murdered in the case of Grissom and his crew, or Thomas Baron etc).
