theoretically, yes. There has to be an area that all the universe is expanding from. Scientists say that the universe is either expanding or contracting, and something cannot expand or contract unless expanding or contracting to/from a point. We can assume that the point is not on the side of wherever it is moving to/from. So it is not billowing out at an angle from somewhere. We can then assume that there is a center that is expanding or contracting. If there weren't a center, then scientists would be contradicting themselves anytime they say that the universe is expanding or contracting.

Depends on your definition of "centered".

The Big Bang did not take place at any one, specific point. It was NOT an explosion of matter from a point into empty space. It was an EXPANSION of space itself, taking place at every point in our Universe, and dragging matter along with it. Thus, our Universe has no center.

Your question is thus based on two fallacies. However, this is understandable, as popular presentations of the Big Bang often portray it as an explosion of matter from a specific point. It's just that this idea is completely wrong.
