Could the Universe Be Rotating Instead of Expanding?

Cosmology is an entire field devoted to this and other related phenomena. Have you read up on the current standard model? If not I would hit up wikipedia or other online sites and grab a book on it from a local bookstore or from online.

But just about the expansion of space, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_expansion_of_space

i read it but i poses the question, could it be rotating thus giving the illusion of expansion

I've heard of this before, but I believe a rotating universe does not match observations. I'm not real sure about it.

No, if it were rotating, the effect would not produce identical results in all directions, thus violating isotropy, which is well established.

Wildwill, based on this and another post of yours I have to say that it seems that you are just throwing out random ideas with no basis in science. Please read up on real science ... there's a lot of fascinating stuff there and once you've got some basics under your belt you'll be able to ask more meaningful questions.
