In cosmology, the Big Bang Model is slightly out of order, leading to inconsistent results. I think it’s likely the expansion of the universe is not accelerating. I wonder if it’s actually expanding at all.

What’s out of order? What are these inconsistent results? Why do you doubt the expansion of the universe?

There are quite a few things any new theory is going to have to deal with:

1. The correlation between distance and redshift. Why are more distant galaxies more strongly redshifted?

2. The CMB. This background radiation was predicted by the Big Bang model before it was discovered in the 1960’s.

3. The ratio of elements. The Big Bang model makes predictions about the ratios of light elements in the universe, and those predictions have been supported by subsequent experiments.

Those are just 3 sets of observations off the top of my head, and they all fit very neatly into the BB theory.
