In cosmology, the mainstream journals will not publish anything that contradicts BB and expanding universe theories.
That's obviously not true. Those theories are fairly new themselves; they replaced older theories that they contradicted.

They serve those theories like they are already proven, just as many here take them as gospel truth.
"Proven" is not a concept that science uses. Those theories are the best explanations that we have so far - and they have been tested as rigorously as possible.
If cranky ideas are rejected it's because they do not measure up to scientific rigor.

It is also very difficult to get into the mainstream journals...
Yes. It is. Duh.
It's hard to get into Harvard. It's hard to get elected President. It's hard to climb Mount Everest.

It's an easy way to do something that
should be hard - like buying a diploma online or taking a bus to the summit of Mount Everest or being born King of England. The easier it is to accomplish the goal, the less it is worth.
