I would somewhat agree and as someone stated the universe does not expand faster than the speed of light. Also, the expansion of the universe has been noted between galaxies in space, It has not been noted in our solar system. Our sun keeps its planets in line. I doubt the expansion has even been noticed with-in galaxies either, black holes seem to keep galaxies in-line. We are heading towards Andromeda not receding from it, there are many examples of interacting galaxies in the milky way.
The logic that every physical phenom must apply to everything else, to be valid, is flawed logic. Personally I think your logic fell apart after step 2. Whoa there, Robert. By your reasoning why arent you expanding? What makes
your body an exception to the rest of the universe? Somewhere, youve experienced a major logical disconnect. Space-time is expanding, not the contents themselves which are embedded within space-time. Hubbles observation and Neal Adams fantabulous jabberwocky have nothing in common. As they say in the military, man, you need to flush out your head gear.

Everyone who believes in an Expanding Universe raise your hand
Ok, Good.
For those with your hands up, how many of you believe that that expansion is accelerating? Keep your hands up, everyone else put your hands down.
OK, very nice.
For those of with your hands still up, How many of you believe this expansion affects Planet Earth and the rest of the solar system, keep your hands up.
OK, so we have a small group that believes that the Earth is actually expanding along with the rest of the solar system. Amazing.
So the rest of you believe the Earth is not affected but a process that astronomers see happening every day through-out the Galaxy. A process that was first discovered by Edwin Hubble.
So all of you that don't believe in main stream science and deny that the Earth is expanding why do you think Earth is an exception from the rest of the Universe.
I'll take your answers in writing.

Hi, All
I was talking to a fellow astronomer the other evening and he told me to go to a web site and check out expanding earth, mars etc. theory.
Here is the link:

This is kind of an interesting Idea.
Any comments
