Yea, no.

If the universe was eternal it would be in equilibrium, on average galaxies wouldn't change over time. This is not what is observed.

High redshift galaxies have less heavy elements than modern ones. This is not consistent with a universe in equilibrium. While many other measurements of galaxies depends on the assumed cosmology model (e.g. size, luminosity, mass) the metallicity does not. It is a model independent test showing there is galaxy evolution. The hydrogen is being used up, slowly.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.08516
https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.08255
https://arxiv.org/abs/1205.5047

Also the thing that killed quasi steady state cosmology was the fact there are far more quasars at high redshift than locally. They pretty much disappeared. This cannot be explained it they have a constant density, there has to be some evolution in time.

Other issues with a static universe are that it's gravitationally unstable and has to be carefully balanced against collapse by dark energy. It also doesn't explain redshift, or the microwave background or dozens of other tests.

Grammatically speaking, anon made an assertion yes.
If you parse that post on terms of first order logic or whatever; what you are calling an "assertion" in conversational English, to me, it actually reads as a logical conclusion (as in, propositional logic) if you parse it as a logical statement and not just conversational English

It's too tedious to explain all this shit and there's not much to gain.
You are working backwards from a conclusion that you already decided, and don't seem to want to engage in good faith with people who are lovingly trying to educate you and encourage your curiosity.
People want to share their ideas with you and reach some mutual understanding but it seems we're all covering our ears and screaming over each other

Given anon's conclusion; they've already explained the requisite propositions to reach that conclusion in their previous posts (again, not worth trying to cleanly write down and explain all this when people are not willing to engage in an honest and not pedantic, two way dialogue)

The "big bang" happened everywhere. The whole universe was smaller and dense, then it expanded. The big bang also predicts not just hydrogen but the other light element abundances which formed in fusion in the early universe.

No it's not. It's even stronger with JWST. And the third paper I linked isn't even using galaxies, it's measuring hydrogen clouds. It doesn't depend on your ability to select galaxies, and yet the data clearly shows these clouds have got more and more metal rich.

The empirical evidence that is us observing energy is way stronger than math tricks using relativity and QM that we know are faulty.

Either:
1. Energy can not be created (then we should not observe any energy)

or

2. Energy can be created in infrequent big bang events

or

3. Energy can be created in big bang events but the laws of physics vary with time stopping further energy creation. But at long time periods they may come to vary again to something else.

There is no something from nothing and if there was it could happen again. The consensus among current cosmologists is that the big bang is as far back as we can probe, not the actual start of the universe. The start of ”meaningful” time so to speak.

That is a bad analogy. Fourier space is just as real as real space.
I'm not asserting it must be correct on this basis, but is another pillar of evidence supporting the big bang.
>How about tge recently found (or measured) nearby dwarf galaxy?
I don't know what you're referring to, but one galaxy does not change these distributions.

>It doesn't sound terribly convincing.
Then I don't think you understand it. You are saying "look at this new galaxy", but these measurements don't depend on your ability to find the galaxy. It is a blind statistical measurement and it's very clean. The measurements are also the same near and far.

I'm talking about how galaxies are constantly forming stars. The mass of a galaxy cannot grow infinitely. Either it saturates because there is no more matter to form stars, or the galaxies would collapse even if you magically added new matter.

Hypothetical constructs exist in the mind and are useful for making predictions about then world but hypothetical constructs don't seem to exist in physical reality, yes
Big Bang Cosmology (and Fourier transfers) are only "real" in the sense that they are mental model that is useful for making predictions about the world. When a newer, more reliable model comes along, it will become dominant

The problem with this idea is the acceleration of expansion of space time. An always existing and eternal universe would be stable. The accelerated expansion of space time implies that at some distant point in the future, space will have expanded to such a degree that matter and the laws of physics that govern them will fundamentally break down outside of the event horizon of a blackhole. A transition from an orderly state to a disorderly state violates the causal principle of eternalness.
