Yep. Modern cosmology is one big conglomeration of ad hoc poppycock nonsense.
A proper model, built upon sound axioms and principles, would not only predict new observations, it would also explain them. The Standard Model has utterly failed in that regard.
On the other hand, the Electric Universe model predicts and even requires many of the observed phenomena that modern cosmologists have struggled to shoehorn into the Standard Model.
(put the bottle away.)
