Mysteries of "The Redshift Desert" --Why Do Galaxies in the Early Universe Appear Old?

[Speck Tater]

10. Yup. That's why steady state in its current form has been discredited.

On the other hand, I could use fairies dancing on gas molecules to explain Brownian motion. But just because Brownian motion can be observed doesn't mean that it my dancing fairies theory is the ONLY explanation for what was observed. Sometime in the future some brilliant young theorist might come up with a non-Big Bang explanation for CMB. Someday. Maybe. To pretend we have all the final answers here and now is to deny the very processes of science. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Certainly not me.

Every time we turn around science hands us another startling new discovery. There's no way I'm going to close the door prematurely on the future of science. And as a non-scientist with no professional reputation to protect I can afford to make all the idle speculations I like in perfect safety. Being right all the time is not in my job description.
