Answer 2

The answer to your first question is to measure the redshift, that's correct. Blueshift is not so crazy an answer though, since that's what happens when stars move toward the earth rather than away. The electromagnetic doppler effect applies to any light emitting body, and is most commonly applied to stars. It can by extension be applied to galaxies by averaging.

I would argue that the Big Bang theory was supported by the discovery of the expansion of the universe, which corresponds to a near-universal redshift. Which is not to say that stars are not also coming towards us sometimes, but on average everything is getting farther apart, which implies that it was closer together in the past and suggests that it may have been all together in one little lump at the beginning

Answer 3

The fundamental principle of science is that any theory that disagrees with experiment is wrong, and that's the end of the story. The Steady State theory does not agree with experimental evidence, and so it has been largely discarded.
