I am not against people working in any field of knowledge that sincerely tries to understand the universe, but I don't defer to another's pov based on the their claim to authority, I am free to challenge claims whenever I find them less than convincing to my understanding of reality.I think it is idiotic to think you would know more than the people who have worked or who have done the research in the fields.
Have you ever worked at any of observatories? Have you ever work at NASA or ESA or whatever the Russians called their own space agency?
I don't think anyone who rely on religions, their religious belief would know more than those who have the experiences.
I am not saying they don't make mistakes...but that's what finding evidences are for.
You on the other hand, is simply used your religious belief to dictate what is true or not true about the universe, and you expect other people to take you seriously.
You have offer no verifiable evidences to check on what you claim, and yet, you claimed you have overwhelming evidences to support your personal belief. That's not evidence, that just your opinion and conjecture.
If it wasn't for science, you wouldn't know that the universe was larger than what we could see with the naked eye. The ancient people thought the universe was only what they could see with their eyes.
Before Edwin Hubble, since Galileo, people thought the Milky Way was THE UNIVERSE. They thought Andromeda Galaxy was simply another nebula in the Milky Way. It was only the development of larger optical telescope - the Hooker Telescope, built by the 1919. Not only did Hubble discovered Andromeda Galaxy was a separate spiral galaxy, it was also more massive than the Milky Way, containing more stars than the Milky Way.
This led quickly to discoveries of even more galaxies in our universe.
A few years later (in 1922), Alexander Friedmann, a Russian astronomer and physicist, who was the first to theorise that the universe was expanding, 5 years before Georges Lemaitre independently published his own hypothesis (1927).
Two years after that publication, Hubble discovered the evidences for the universe expanding, by observing and measuring the redshift of galaxies.
You say not to rely on these scientists and their discoveries, but have you anything more concrete and alternative mean of discovering new?
All you have presented is your personal belief the universe, that's all. You have shown no evidences, but expect Polymath to show evidences. That's rich. It's bloody double standard. Especially when in your older reply, you have stated you have overwhelming evidences.
I am still waiting for you to present those abundant of evidences you have hidden in your sleeve or pocket.
Don't make claims of having evidences, if you don't have any.
If you read my posts, I said I like science, I didn't say you can not rely on all scientific claims, but because I find fault with some of the conclusions of some scientific claims does not mean I am anti-science, just that there is more to it than most scientists know....and you can take that as another fact.
As for raising particular scientific claims such as Hubble doppler shift of em light waves, it has nothing to do with my reasons for claiming the universe to be eternal, the universe is eternal for the reasons given in my last post to you.
