Who says, 'There's no Common-Center Beginning'?
"Our sun at the center of our solar system is just one star among billions in the Milky Way galaxy. Around us are billions and billions of galaxies. Where could this entire universe come from? Was it always this way or did the universe have a beginning? The church has always believed that the universe came from a moment of creation - a time when the universe began. Meanwhile, scientists developed two theories: the Big Bang and the Steady State theories. In this century, science has come to understand how the universe began from a tiny point, fifteen billion years ago. No matter how incredible it sounds, it seems that the church's ideas of a moment of creation were right from the beginning."

------------------------------------
Meanwhile, the Big Bang advocates, apologists and revisionarys, have hewn out rationalizations for why there is presently no common center from which 'the expanding universe', is expanding... ('The center is everywhere'.) And why the observed expansion is accelerating.
Refer 'Quintessence' and the (stealthy) reinstatement of Einstein's Cosmological Constant in LCDM (Lambda Cosmological Dark Matter) - Friedmann and others have pointed out that the CC may expand or contract 'at the slightest provocation'. Ostensibly, as the only known force that increases with distance - it explains why the spatially expanding universe is accelerating.
Under these convuluted circumstances, a theoretical return to a Steady State universe seems imminent. Moreover, background radiation (where the past is more dense than the present) is the signature of any expanding universe scenario.
