Re: Is the inflationary model of the universe true?
Its a known fact that Hubble was an agnostic. right?
​
So what? What has his religious beliefs have to do with his scientific expertise? Why would he even think that he was in the center of the universe or not? What does it matter? would think that he is in the center just because he sees stars & other space phenomena in all directions, appearing equally distant. Whether we are in the center or not cannot be proven or disproven since all we can see is the visible universe ~13 billion light years in radius. How much bigger the universe is in unknown since light from here has not reached us yet. This would also give creedence to all points being the center.

Re: Is the inflationary model of the universe true?
When you watch the video watch for where Gentry quotes Stephen Hawkins agreeing that the earth could be the center of the universe.
​
could & is are 2 different things. The earth could be the center but so could a galaxy a billion light years away.

Re: Redshift caused by a priori assumption
What if matter is changing relationally? Relational changes are where the properties change in unison - together.
​
The fact is there is no evidence that matter is changing, has changed or will change either rationally, irrationally or transcendentally.

What does cosmic alignment have to do with whether the earth is the center of the universe or not. And you didn't answer Reuh's question.

The Jupiter Venus conjunction coming this Sunday Monday, etc...
​
So. This happens about every 12-14 years. Maybe less time. Conjunctions are simply due to two planets appearing near each other relative to our sight.

So you are advocating astrology? I thought that Christianity specifically condemned practicing astrology?
​
Evidently, to them, one pseudoscience is as good as another.
