Here's the great part: nobody else has to prove it's "not refraction of light on a surface", whatever that means in this context.

We got models. They work pretty good as far as we can measure. That some other model could potentially explain the same measurements doesn't change that fact.

If someone proposes some other model that explains something better, ie with same or better accuracy and/or with less assumptions, then great!

You say that while letting the modelers of your cosmology get away with the most egregious science man ever witnessed. The models do wonders for technology on earth, but they do not produce any meaning out of the sky, only fantasies built on mathematical aberrations. On the contrary, and contrary to your favorite Razor, these models only make the wildest claims about the universe possible.

Occam's Razors says your cosmology is wrong. It's too convoluted, it has to explain the craziest singularities, which are not observable, yet it cannot explain real observations, like missing energy sources and background radiation. No math changes these facts. It's all in your head.
