    I doubt very much the universe is expanding. The CMB doesn't present as a uniform field and is probably just noise from galaxies. There is too much vested religious interest in a finite and non-eternal universe for preconceptions not to cloud scientific observation. I call bullshit.

      If it weren't expanding wouldn't the points of light from the 100s of billions of galaxies remain for us see in the visible spectrum?
