Who said we aren't ? We have theories good enough to make

That is an argument against science in general,. Yet

This is just rhetoric. You desciber paper as "slanted" because you
don't like them. Would you describe Hoyle's alternative as "slanted" ?

I don't see what you mean ? Are you saying redshift isn't Doppler,
or that it is ?

I thought it was possible to fathom the mystery of comsogenesis -- that
is what you say above. Are you saying that, or are you
promoting an alternative.

It isn't.
The BB is a testable, quantitative theory.

The point of a theory is to be able to deal
