Yes :-) Actually, that's not the thing that annoys me most about the
cosmologists - it's the way that all their evidence depends on a very
complicated analysis of the data, which can only be done by assuming
their hypothesis! It's tortoises all the way down ....

While I haven't had the time to look, ITYF it's turtles...

We have damn-all direct evidence of general relativity at high space-
time stresses, or even that the red shift is due to recession,

Well, it's a good starting-point. Recession creates unemployment,
unemployment results in a lot of ungruntled ex-employees, many of whom
shift to the red...

and
there are alternative hypotheses that are mathematically consistent
and compatible with known physics. Yes, they're probably wrong, but
that doesn't prove the current hypotheses are right.

Do these admit the existence of trolls?
