Galaxy Clusters

Hundreds of rapidly moving galaxies often cluster tightly together.
Their relative velocities, as inferred by the redshifts of their
light, are so high that these clusters should be flying apart, because
each cluster’s visible mass is much too small to hold its galaxies
together gravitationally (a). Because galaxies within clusters are so
close together, they have not been flying apart for very long.

A similar statement can be made concerning many stars in spiral
galaxies and gas clouds that surround some galaxies (b). These stars
and gas clouds have such high relative velocities that they should
have broken their “gravitational bonds” long ago if they were billions
of years old. If the redshift of starlight always indicates a star’s
velocity, then a billion-year-old universe is completely inconsistent
with what is observed. If redshifts can be caused by phenomena other
than a star’s velocity, much of current astronomical thinking is
wrong.

It might all sound very plausible, provided you set aside the
overwhelming evidence that the universe is about 14 billion years old.

It must be embarrassing for you to post such laughable twaddle,
having to cite references going back to 1933! Your arguments must be
really short of credible evidence!
