Russ: Van Flandern says the universe has too much large scale structure (interspersed "walls" and voids) to form in a time as short as 10-20 billion years. How do you respond to this?

Astrocat, I don't think it is beyond dispute. As I understand it the whole argument for an expanding universe is based on the red shift. There are those that argue that the red shift is merely the effect of gravity waves the propagate much faster then the speed of light causing galaxies to...
