So many scientists find the idea that it only ''looks like'' we are at the center of the universe an attractive one.

However, recent [[redshift]] data showing a series of concentric [[sphere]]s of redshift quantization supports the idea that our [[galaxy]] (the [[Milky Way Galaxy|Milky Way]]) really is at or close to the center of the universe.<ref>Humphreys, Russell, [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/1570/ Our galaxy is the center of the universe, ‘quantized’ redshifts show], ''Journal of Creation'' 16(2):95–104, 2002.</ref>

In the mid 1970s the astronomer [[William Tifft]] put forward the idea that red shift distances were quantized and possibly organized into spheres. If the observations were accurate, then it would suggest that the Earth is at or close to the centre of these spheres. While this centre is not necessarily the same thing as the centre of universe, it would certainly put Earth in a "special place".<ref>Humphreys, Russell, [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/1570/ Our galaxy is the center of the universe, ‘quantized’ redshifts show], ''Journal of Creation'' 16(2):95–104, 2002.</ref> However, Tifft's original data involved a relatively small sample of around 200 bodies. Later observations have revealed that there is red shift clumping, due to structures such as [[supercluster complexes]], it is random in terms of direction and does indicate any symmetrical pattern<ref> Tang, S.
