While you have not directly answered if you accept that the expansion of the Universe is increasing, I assume you don’t as you have introduced plasma cosmology. I often ask theists what their religion has added to the world of scientific discovery in the last 500 years because they insist that religion and science are compatible and “equal” avenues to discovering more about our Universe.
Modern cosmology has led to many discoveries that have reached consensus because they are proven correct when tested. One example is using Cepheid stars (pulsars) to measure the distances between galaxies. By knowing the luminosity of these “standard candles” we know beyond any doubt, i.e. with complete certainty, that we live in an expanding Universe.
I ask a similar question here – What does plasma cosmology or EU offer or explain that modern Big Bang Cosmology does not? As far as I can tell it is a debunked idea that never really took off.
