What reason does the big bang have over choosing the no center/no edge? I believe Humphrey is correct in saying that secular scientists have no scientific evidence for choosing this one. For only the two assumptions proposed can explain why every direction we point our telescope, the universe is relatively homogeneous.
In Humphrey's cosmology how far away is the edge?
The Big Bang uses the....including far reaching galaxies.
There are several things which are unusual about this paragraph. The kind of cosmological evolution implied would be far to violent for almost anything to form.
It also discribes Earth as being within an horizon and then, due to external conditions, the horizon disappears and Earth emerges from it to join the rest of the universe.
Such at set up is grossly artificial and probably involves unrealistic distributions of matter.
Also a black holes "dip" can't get shallower because material outside it spreads out. Most black holes are materially isolated anyway and by this logic would disappear rather quickly.
This isn't including the fact that a center of the universe wouldn't be well defined in GR and very little (none?) of the solutions to the Field Equations have an edge. So I think this cosmology very much goes against the grain of GR.
