As one against many, I'm not going down rabbit trails - searches for cosmological papers. It would be more appropriate for you to show me how any detailed conclusion about something outside our solar system is testable or falsifiable, by means other than repetitive study by telescope.
Why does it need to be falsifiable by other means?
Anyway, cosmological theories have been tested with Neutrino and meson detectors, not just telescopes.

Nonsense
Because much complex falsification was required of Intelligent Design. The double standards are clear.
So let me understand your reasoning:
It is not okay to use telescopes to study the universe, you need other unspecified instruments, because people were, in your opinion, unfair to intelligent design.
Can you explain to me why telescopes are inadequate in cosmology, without reference to how unfairly some other subject was treated.
Your reasoning would be equivalent to telling a plumber that he doesn't know what he is doing because somebody was mean to the electrician.

Re: Nonsense
I don't think humans are completely capable of smugly making assertions about what's going on thousands, or hundreds of thousands of light years away.
Why not? For what specific reasons can one not make assertions about distant events?
