I know what the Crusades are. That was the Catholic church and it was loosely based on religion(if I remember correctly). It was all about looting and peasants seeking adventure.

Actually, it was all about Christianity. It was to reclaim the holy land and people were offered entitlement to the passage to heaven if they signed up.
Compliment, compared to everyone else who participates in this debate you are by far the best at debating. Your post confirmed that. I must say you are quite knowledgeable on this subject compared to me who has little knowledge beyond what has been taught to me in the various science classes which I have taken so far. Though you certainly did a great job of explaining it well and not having it go over my head.
And I want apologize for not being as good as you are at this.... you leave me with so much to take in and reply to. But I will do my best.
Not going to say I perfectly understand what you said there but I do get the general gist of it. However I can't, as of right, come up with much of a response to it. Most of it just being purely information. I can't really say much about Einstein's theory of General Relativity as I don't really know that much on it and don't want to make a fool of myself. While my only understanding of Dark Energy is simply that it is energy that exists but we can't see which is similar to Dark Matter (At least I think that is it) When you say the universe is constantly expanding but one thing which I don't fully understand, which I believe I mentioned, was the actual expansion of the universe. From what I know is from this discovery:
I am perfectly clear on the wavelength idea but from what I learned and in reference to another post I made is that the way the the universe is expanding. Which is galaxies are getting farther and farther apart from each other while also constantly speeding up/. Yet the expansion of space occurs between two or more galaxies. To put it in my teachers words "It is not that galaxies are getting farther away from each other but that the space between galaxies is expanding" which is a concept that does confuse me. Also doesn't the idea that galaxies are constantly speeding up go against one of the motion laws? [quoteby=Newton]First law: When viewed in an inertial reference frame, an object either remains at rest or moves at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.[2][3][/quote] I believe that is the correct law possibly the 2nd law too. At best I can only say that there is a constant renewing force pushing galaxies.
I am familiar with Cosmic Background Radiation (at least more familiar) and understand where they are coming from in regards with claims related to it. What I am saying with it is that we can see it and we know it's there as well as the cause of it, or possible causes, but I question our accuracy of its origin. We know it has faded but how are we to know where it originated from and if it isn't from a bunch of different explosions around the same time? It has certainly shifted but from our point in the universe I think that our views may be slightly skewered. Basically we can see it but we may only be seeing a part of it, the waves we see may appear to be originated from one point but how can we be certain that there are other waves originated from other places? Our view of the universe is pretty one side as you said and to prove or disprove these claims seem to be something we can't yet do. Moving back to what you said though, sorry for going off a bit.
-So we have figure out Earth's age to be about 4.5 billion years old. -Our Sun to be now in its middle age at 4.6 billion years and will die in another 5 billion years or so. -The Milky Way Galaxy to be 13.2 billion years old. -And the Universe at approx. 13.8 billion years ago.
Those last two bother me, they are far too close. Now lets go on a little more. -Andromeda is about 9 billion years old and approx. 2.5 million light years from us -Triangulum galaxy at 13.2 billion years and approx. 2.7 million light years from us -Galaxy MACS0647-JD which is about 13.3 billion light-years away Basically what I am getting at is in relation to the age of our Universe compared to other things. Our Sun is halfway through it's life, estimated to be about 9 billion years total. Now going off that I am looking at other stars in the same class as the Sun (mass, luminosity, etc) which have already collapsed into maybe Planetary Nebulae, gone supernova into black holes or white dwarves (not sure on that one might be confusing it for something else.) So looking at those and the Sun means that it is only reasonable that each of those stars had lived for about 9 billion years plus the amount of million or billion of years that have passed since they became black holes, planetary nebulae, or white dwarves. Then pulling back and noticing that all of them are only small parts of the many galaxies already out there. Then looking at that last bullet, Galaxy MACS0647-JD which is apparently 13.3 billion light years away. Basically I am just looking at the numbers and thinking that they don't seem to add up. While you did say that I could calculate the age of the Universe I'm just thinking that the age is false or the equation isn't entirely accurate.
So there is my reply. I know I didn't hit everything you said but I did say I am not as good at this compared to you. Also below is a link to the site which i found on Galaxy MACS0647-JD just in case you wanted to look it over or something like that. http://www.space.com/18502-farthest-galaxy-discovery-hubble-photos.html

Go visit the Fan Fiction and Role Playing Forum and check out what is there maybe you will see something of interest and feel free to stay and have a cup of -insert beverage of choice here- and some cookies. It's on the house! Well it would be if I had a house...
