Problem is the walls are followed by great voids (Giant void is 1 to 1.3 billion LY in diameter), then other walls. So if the walls were formed by gravity, its easy enough for scientist to calculate that that they couldn't have formed in 13.8 billion years at the known expansion rates. Perhaps this source is more appetizing to your tastes.
Then there is the Methuselah star, HD 140283. Only 190LY from earth and seeminly 14.5 billion years old.
The creationist view is now accepted by most cosmologists and has been endorsed by NASA--as based on Genesis 1.

MarsIsRed I suggest you try to act your age a little.
Some of the greatest scientist in history were religious (Isaac Newton and Max Planck for example) who didn't need to seperate their religous beliefs for scientific research as both are in reality a search for truth.
So you response is idiotic.
Perhaps this source is more appetizing to your tastes.

Arthur Eddington in 1926 estimated that solar radiation from all stars in the universe would warm interstellar space to 3.18K. Given that we know today that CMB temperature is 2.725K that was a mighty fine estimate for 1926. So CMB might not have anything to do with cosmic inflation at all but a warming of space from solar radiation itself.

I'll tell you what's inflated even more than the early universe and that is the ego's of these scientists...
Religion means "to connect back". Science means "accumulated knowledge".

What is there to warm up? CMB distribution doesn't correspond to the distribution of intergalactic hydrogen. It literally comes from everywhere, in a quite isotropic fashion.
And how does warming up by stars explain the "cold spot"?
