Ellis argues. “For instance, I can construct you a spherically symmetrical universe with Earth at its center, and you cannot disprove it based on observations.”

Exactly the way crevos pi$$ on your leg and tell you it's raining.

Ellis did not have the data showing that the universe is far from symetrical, nor the proof from gravity lensing that far more universe exists out there [in some directions, and not others] than we can observe without 'special tricks' provided by nature itself.

"Exactly the way crevos evos pi$$ on your leg and tell you it's raining."

There, fixed it for you.

"Ellis did not have the data showing that the universe is far from symetrical, nor the proof from gravity lensing that far more universe exists out there [in some directions, and not others] than we can observe without 'special tricks' provided by nature itself."

Apparently the fact that that street runs both ways escaped you.
