Rationalist,
Thanks for clearing this up. Since this discussion began I thought what you have presented is what the creationists have been talking about, but as usual their version of observations is so divorced from reality that it’s difficult to tell what they're talking about.

Being in a solar system that is at the outer third of a galaxy, that itself is not even the dominant galaxy in the local group of galaxies, that is itself on the outer limits of a super cluster of galaxies must be disconcerting to some.
If I were on a planet one billion light years from earth would this supposed effect be centered on me? After all, since the universe is retreating from each individual point in the universe (minus the affects of local gravity), wouldn’t the redshifts look the same there as here?
