This can be clearly validated by the statement;

Cosmology is a science, which is based on mathematics, observation and evidence - to find a valid means of validating our Universe.
Saying "Fantasy" immediately suggests a "hidden motivation"
As for the statement;
"If the universe is expanding, the surface brightness (apparent luminosity divided by apparent surface area) of distant galaxies will be much less than that of nearby ones. But if it is not expanding, the surface brightness will be the same. It turns out that the surface brightness is, in fact, the same."
Oh Dear!
Clearly, this is utter nonsense!! The general view expressed here appears on every page of this site, and worst it is far from balanced.
Thanks for pointing this out, though.
