dhw: I am in no position to debate the issue. I do know, however, that these are not the only scientists to question the whole concept of expansion. This was merely one point among several to explain why it is patently absurd to state that the vastness is necessary. I presume you now agree.

You have missed the point I presented. It took time in the evolution of the universe for the elements that support life to develop. In that time the universe expanded to be huge. Vastness is a necessary component of the result. That is the connection and the result of the energy of the Big Bang causing the expansion. The question of the expansion itself is that some scientists do not accept the concept of inflation because its cause is unknown. On the other side inflation fits the findings which is a bastardized way of supporting the concept.
