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".
I say that the BB is not much of a theory because it cannot predict the most important bit of the jigsaw i.e. The Hubble constant.

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.
No way Hosay! H is not described in terms of velocity per distance unless yo are a follower of the Bb. What is observed is a shift in wavelength. The rest is in the interpretation of that result. Since when did scientists believe things to be true because

"What we measure is redshift and that is what we will call them.
NOT VELOCITY
