Trick question? Wouldn't any point on the surface of a sphere be an equally valid center?

Yes. And that is exactly the analogy that fits any position in an expanding universe. All points are equidistant from the origin.

Well, I guess I'm not clear on why you said this in post #7:

There are freepers in good standing who seriously argue that the earth is at the center of the universe.

Now in post 41 you say that any point is a valid center of the universe. So, are you making fun of freepers who say the earth is the center of the universe, or are you agreeing with them?
