Discussion on question by Ask Questions: How do we know the expansion of space is happening "now" and isn't an illusion?

No. Go and read and follow the guidance. You don't need any qualifications to ask a good question (see any number of laymen who already have.) Asking a question that is well structured can be done by anyone. Take commentary on board and please go and edit your questions, instead of taking comments on your questions' quality as some sort of attack against you.
