I did address your claim by pointing out that modern cosmology offers more than just the two options you presented. The fact that we don’t yet have a complete answer does not mean we must accept a false dichotomy. Science is about exploring possibilities based on evidence, not forcing conclusions to fit preconceived notions.

If you believe my response ‘said nothing at all to contradict’ your claim, then either you did not engage with the points I made, or you are dismissing scientific inquiry in favor of a predetermined conclusion. Are you open to discussing alternative models supported by physics, or is your position fixed regardless of new evidence?
