You know, they make fun of the ones who claimed earth was the center of the uiniverse. It is. It was, and it will be.

You fail at life, no question, but more importantly you fail at the Internet.
Papabear, CousinTed: WHAT MIND? No, seriously, what mind? This guy is too stupid to actually have anything other than lint in there.
Actually, Julian, according to present models the universe is infinite and has no center. The expansion means that all spatial distances increase and so the average density of matter decreases with time, not that there is a "total size" which is getting bigger. The Big Bang is not a point in space -it is shorthand for the moment in the past at which density becomes infinite, so we hit a singularity. But this occurs "everywhere at once".
Space is homogeneous in the average at large scales. It obviously is not at all scales, as there are galaxies and clusters of galaxies, but going to larger and larger scales you begin to see roughly the same amount of galaxies in every very large same-sized region.surface of the sphere. Its center is not a point in the space. Perhaps it could have a center of mass, although not if it were homogeneous. And if it is infinite as currently thought instead of closed as a sphere, it definitely has no center of mass.
Hope this made sense!
Okay, that's it. He's not just stupid, overly imaginative, and desperately, willfully ignorant; he's crazy as a bedbug! Either that, or he's the most amazingly dedicated and convincing troll I have ever read.
Vaguelyish - My calculations for the centre of the universe were quite crude, and made a teeny mistake where I forgot my units were visible universes not light years, and should've come up with 400 billion, trillion light years. Ooops. (Hell I was even too lazy to check if it was homogenous or homologous)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
