You are stating that observations are not in accordance with some kind of theory which you seem to be concerned about. (I think you called it "The Big Bang Theory", yes?). Regardless of any knowledge that anybody else may or may not have about it, in order to make that statement, you at least must be familiar with:
a. the observations.
b. the observations predicted by the theory.
Am I right so far? Please tell me if I'm not. If you're not familiar with (a) or (b) please tell me how your statement works.
You then stated the result of a particular observation. Namely:
Distant galaxies do not look measurably smaller now than they did 100 years ago.
All I'm asking you to do is to use your knowledge of the theory to tell me whether it predicts that those galaxies would in fact look measurably further away after 100 years. What difference in appearance does the theory predict? What difference, if any, is observed? I don't know the answers to these questions. It's not my theory. You must know the answers, because otherwise you would not have been able to make your statement. You have made a statement about a theory. I have not.
Can you see now that I'm not seeking to defend or attack anything, but merely asking you to explain an assertion that you have made about (a) some observations and (b) some kind of theory?
I have no theory. I am merely making the observation that there has been no visual or other evidence in any change in the appearance of the universe in the last 100 years. Therefore, the misconception is that the expanding universe theory must be incorrect. It is up to you to decide whether you wish to support the expanding universe theory by offering evidence or whether you wish not to support it by declining to provide evidence. So far, you have not provided any evidence, therefore, your case is unfulfilled and void of evidence to support it.
Please advise - (a) I support the expanding universe theory and will provide the evidence.
(b) I do not support the expanding universe theory and will not be supplying any evidence.
