RE: How Did the Universe Come To Be?
First experimental evidence of an expanding universe was Hubble in the 1920's. He thought he would see some galaxies moving closer together and others farther and found that instead all galaxies are moving apart. AFAIK all subsequent observations have verified that.
Red Shift has GOT to be an indication that they are moving away from us...right?
nothing could ever, ever, ever approach...
..oh..wait..
Tired Light Can't possible be true
and just ignore
BLUE SHIFTED GALAXIES
ignore this too
Most of those blue-shifted 7000 objects are stars not galaxies. And I think all the actual galaxies are part of our local system which means they may overcome the redshift of expansion by local movement towards us.
I don't think your NPR link addresses expanding universe.
Observational red/blue-shift is relative to the viewer so closer systems can overcome expansional red-shift effects due to their motion relative to the viewer (in other words they are moving towards us, relatively speaking, faster than universal expansion is taking them away from us because of their proximity). Or so the explanations I've seen go.
The long and short of it is the observational evidence points that way and their is ZERO observational evidence evidencing alternative theories AFAIK.
you think wrong...it very clearly states that they are galaxies.
lookie here...you're defending scientists...the very same people who claim your god doesn't exist.
image that.
As I mentioned I agree with some things some scientists say depending upon what seems to make sense to me.
Some scientists, maybe even most, see evidence of intelligent action/consciousness in the very nature of the universe itself - which agrees with my conception of "god".
Can you give me a link where to where it "very clearly states that they are galaxies", I can't seem to find it.
I think you'll find that whoever ran the search on the database mistakenly selected ALL blueshifted objects rather than just galaxies.
