Big Bang: Discovering the Reasons Behind Its Occurrence

[Chalnoth]

I am not interested in beliefs - yours or mine, I prefer empirical data. The chance correlations argument is statistical in nature and disingenuous when applied to individual observations. For any statistical argument to have merit it needs to be applied to a statistically significant set of high redshift/low redshift pairs. The one man who bothered to make a survey of such pairs was Halton Arp and he was denied telescope time for the attempt.

I wasn't talking about beliefs. I was talking about observations. I'm saying that the observations that Arp made where he claimed there was some interaction between a low redshift galaxy and a high-redshift quasar were shown to be misleading: higher-resolution observations by Hubble of these same galaxies show no interaction whatsoever.
