Whereas variable magnetic fields *do* have a tangible effect on photon redshfit in a lab, "space expansion' remains an "act of faith" on the part of believer as it relates to *known causes* of photon redshift.

The universe is expanding, but, where?

Actually, even my *theistic* beliefs are based upon *empirical* concepts of "God". At least humans living on Earth report an influence of God on their lives. That's more than can be said for photons and 'space expansion".

I don't notice the oxygen radicals damaging my DNA as a consequence of my own cellular respiration, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Likewise, when I had my wisdom teeth pulled out, I had some mild hallucinations, but just because I can report them doesn't make them real.

Once again, you refuse to accept wavelength independent redshift as being true. Your denial of facts is what makes you a crackpot.
When you are ready to deal with reality, let me know.

No stories intended. Every book in the Bible claims to be a testimony, a living testimony of a person that lived that. If God chose to appear a thousand years ago, what kind of record do you think He would leave? I find the testimonies of people who have seen or talked to Him is enough for me.

I can write any story I want and claim it is a testimony. Doesn't make it true.
Does God not exist now?

Hello. Amid all the off-topic heat in your thread you've been given the classical Big Bang answer. And the expanding balloon with the galaxies glued onto it is a pretty typical way of visualizing it. If you still have questions I'll be happy to try and help.
There are other cosmologies out there but the Big Bang is by far the most-accepted.

Until you can demonstrate that white light and gamma rays are redshifted equally, why should I "trust you"?
What "facts" have you even shown me related to *higher* energy wavelengths? All I've gotten from you is a bad attitude and a lot of claims about "facts" that you've *never presented*!
Considering how *badly* that BICEP2 set of claims went down, you're the last person who should be talking about 'dealing with reality', or calling anyone a 'crackpot'. All your invisible friends have been *utter duds* when it comes to demonstrating cause/effect relationships in controlled experimentation, and your last grandiose claims turned to *dust* in mere *months*! LHC and LUX *destroyed* your "most popular' claims about magical forms of invisible matter, not to mention all those revelations about *grossly* underestimating the stellar masses of various galaxies by a whopping factor of between 3 and 20 depending on the size of the star and the type of galaxy. You really shouldn't be calling anyone a 'crackpot' considering all the *failures* your theories have dealt with recently.
You can't even handle the 'reality' of that huge hole in your (now falsified) claims!

Ya, kinda like all those claims about gamma rays being redshifted the same as visible light that you've never actually demonstrated.

Don't mind LM. His pantheon of invisible, impotent on Earth friends don't even talk to anyone.

And into Crackpotland we go . . .
You can't even face up to the most obvious and well known observations in cosmology.

If it's so obvious and so well known, you should have no trouble citing some peer reviewed papers that compare gamma rays to visible light from distant objects and show that they are redshifted the same. Where are they? You've never produced any.

I can find tons of papers that say cosmological redshift is wavelength independent. That you have to run away from such simple facts says a lot.

FYI, "crackpotland" must be where you folks got those last BICEP2 claims. They literally *bit the dust* during the peer review process, despite all your erroneous and grandiose claims to the press.

The fact you have to avoid the higher energy wavelengths says volumes too.
MAGIC findings refute your claims, and you've got a gigantic hole in your claims about "homogenous" inflation too. Sure, just ignore the all the facts that you simply can't handle....

Once again, you use the usual smoke screen of insults to hide your inability to discuss the wavelength independence of cosmological redshift.

The only one using smoke and mirrors to deflect their inadequate support of their claims is you, and only you. I've asked you repeatedly to show me a published paper that demonstrates that gamma rays are redshifted the same as visual light, and you keep avoiding it.

You admit that visual light is redshifted in a wavelength independent manner?
If so, you have just falsified plasma redshift.

Wiki says this
"In physics, redshift happens when light or other electromagnetic radiation from an object is increased in wavelength, or shifted to the red end of the spectrum."
What do you mean by wavelength independent?

Could be a typo and he meant dependent. Autocorrect is pure evil sometimes.
