1. How can you say that the Expanding Universe Cosmology is "not much of a theory" unless you are inviting comparisons to other theories or opening this discussion as to what would constitute "much of a theory".
2. Watch your spelling.

sorry this is incorrect - what is observed is redshift. Expansion is an interpretation put onto the redshift. Other theories explain it differently. What is observed is redshift not velocity or expansion.
The Redshift-distance relationship is observed. This is what H is a measure of. H is described in terms of velocity per distance, because redshift is nornally thought of as equivelant to velocity.

It is a crystal sphere to make the theory work.
That sounds a little dismissive. Better I think to say that it is an interesting way to make two missing parts work, that coincidentally have the same total mass.
