Scally: Whatever it is you're disagreeing with me about, is not something I'm disagreeing with you about. My point is that your position's style, or your position itself, or both, are unscientific. You are invoking the language of skepticism, but your actual statements have indicated supposition. I invite you to reconsider whether you actually have a point worth making that I haven't already conceded to you, and, if so, to revisit your posts and restate your objection to the news item. I would also suggest you reconsider your competence to make that objection. How much do you really know about all this?
Tush: If you were not aware that the universe is expanding, indeed that much is well-established by observation of objects throughout visible space. I get the impression that you are dismissive even of that verifiable claim, in which case you should not be conversing with me but looking into an astronomy primer or perhaps setting up your own telescope. As for the last part of your post, I should tell you that I have a tendency to outright dismiss anyone who commits the trolling action of dismissing scientific "theories" because they are not "facts." Given that you are in India, you may not be aware that that tactic is used by Western Christians to make straw man arguments against pretty much any scientific theory which displeases them. In science, theory follows from facts. Theory is comprised of the objective interpretation of facts under the tenets of falsifiability and reproducibility. Finally, as I cautioned xcalibur, I will caution you: You are almost certainly not qualified to discuss cosmology with such casual familiarity. You would honor yourself and your conversation mates to approach the subject with less supposition and more inquisition.
