But since we cant see stars in this image, any conclusion that they are affecting the background light is just a boldfaced assumption, and makes the interpreter seem desperate for an answer.
So are you saying galaxies do not contain stars?
And, is the light being bent around the galaxy, or through the galaxy?
Around.
If the light is being bent around the galaxy, then why would the stars within the galaxy affect it?
Because stars have mass, mass affects gravity, gravity affects light.
They are plenty of plasma arcs in the universe. They are all over the place. The simpler explanation of the universe ought to be based on what we already know, not fictitious lenses Occams Razor.
So why do the plamsa arcs seem to create a circular "lensing" effect?
Maybe it is the fish eye lensing that you are mistaking for gravitational lensing. Fail.
So do you think there is something wrong with the Hubble space telescope? Is it plasma arcs or something with the telescope?
I never said gravity is electricity.
I said the underlying physic is electrical, or likely to be electrical, since it is only a theory.
You said "electric gravity".
Gravity will still act as gravity does even though the underlying physics is likely to be electrical.
How would we test that?
There is no competition between Big Bang metaphysics and EU physics. The two dont compare. One is faith based. The other is physics based. If you want to compare Big Bang theology with something, try religion.
Ive learnt way back not to want anyone to accept anything in this forum. Not my intent. We either accept or we dont. Thats our prerogative.
I'll take that as you do not have any evidence.
You dont get it, do you?
Big Bang theology is based on a flawed interpretation of red-shift, which effectively kills the Big Bang hypothesis.
I would have to claim that you are the one who does not get it. The current cosmology is based on more than just red-shift. If redshift was falsified it does not falsify other evidence that is independent of redshift. Gravitational lensing is independent of redshift and was predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity independent of redshift. Secondly, I had asked you a question about the blackbody spectrum recognized by the COBE satelitte and if EU had any explanation for it, to which you replied...
Why do you ask for an explanation when what you have is retrofitted?

I then went to show you that the blackbody spectrum was hypothesized in the early 1900's and discovered recently. The blackbody spectrum has nothing to do with redshift.
The life blood of Big Bang theology today is non-existent dark matter, dark energy, and all the other dark invisible unverified stuff you guys like to manufacture and sprinkle with mathemagic dust, which effective makes Big Bang a walking zombie.
And evading my questions certainly does not lend credit to your idea.
You need to come up with a new scientific theory if you expect to explain reality, a scientific theory that relies on the Scientific Method.
I recognize that.
You do remember what the Scientific Method is, right?
Observe, Question, Formulate a Hypothesis,
Predict, Observe/Experiment, Analyze Data, Conclusion. If data falsifies your prediction, revise hypothesis.
I am not seeing what you are seeing. But thats not surprising because where you see two I see five, as shown below:
Only in Big Bang theology with all of its mathemagics and mathematricks does one plus one equal five (1+1=5).
Maybe you need a new pair of lenses of your own.
I asked for an empirical demonstration of your interpretation of space warping, and all you do is offer more interpretation?
Let me hear your interpretation but you have to use your own calculations.

Here are the papers of the data. Have fun!
I am forced to ask why you guys ask Creationists for empirical evidence of their biblical interpretations when you guys do the exact opposite to what you ask them for in order to verify your scientific interpretations.
I gave you what I was expecting to get from you. I provided a link with all of the research papers. Even if you do not accept the conclusion you can still analyze the data.
I think I see a double standard here. Fail.
No double standard at all. Only somebody who cannot put his money where his mouth is and instead cries foul.
Disqualified for cheating. Fail.
I'll be waiting for you to provide some research papers.
