How Do Scientists Know It's Space Expanding Not Galaxies Moving?

How Do Scientists Know It's Space Expanding Not Galaxies Moving?
I understand about the rubber band/raisin bread dough analogies. My question is what made scientists look at the universe and say hey, you know what, the galaxies aren't moving. Space is expanding. What tipped them off to make this distinction?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.

Nietzsche isn't dead. How do I know he lives? He lives in my mind.
