Then explain the Hubble volume: unless you believe the Earth is at the center of the universe, basic reasoning tells you that there is a sphere beyond which is outside our light cone, and yet outside which the universe still exists.

Are you saying the observable universe is bounded to our Hubble volume?

Of course, but basic reasoning isn't evidence. Again... "evidence" implies something that can be observed, and something that can be observed, by definition, lies within the observable universe.

>Are you saying the observable universe is bounded to our Hubble volume?

I'm saying the observable universe is bounded to what we can observe, and evidence of something beyond the observable universe is a contradiction in terms.

I don't know how I can possibly make it simpler.

Wouldn’t that be interesting...

great sci fi plot, the earth is the center of the universe because anything out side of our sphere can’t be observed by our consciousness and ‘collapse’ into existence :)
