We now have a great deal of evidence suggesting that our universe began as a nugget of extremely high density and temperature about 14 billion years ago and has been expanding, thinning out, and cooling ever since. The theory of inflation proposes that when our universe was only about a trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second old, a peculiar type of energy caused the cosmos to expand very rapidly. A tiny fraction of a second later, the universe returned to the more leisurely rate of expansion of the standard Big Bang model. Inflation solved a number of outstanding problems in cosmology, such as why the universe appears so homogeneous on large scales.

That's the equivalent of trying to explain away, or theorize away, that which they don't understand.

If their expectations aren't fulfilled by their observations, then something very strange must've happened, but, there isn't a scientist around that can even begin to explain what they've "observed", so, some radical unexplainable theory must come to the rescue.

If the universe did expand so drastically in the very first instance of its existence, and physicists can't explain it with their current knowledge, then it's quite possible that, the universe is vastly more complicated than their puny minds are capable of understanding. But, heck, that can't be, can it?

If the universe did expand to unexplainable proportions in that very first instance of time, and if we are to accept that, time is a dimension of our universe, then, the only explanation is that, time was stopped, and so were the "rules" of physics, and the universe was "expanded" by some unknown property or "entity", and once that size was attained, then time was "allowed" to continue, and the "laws" of physics were also allowed to continue "as designed", and we ended up with a universe that's still a lot more complicated than the smartest minds are capable of understanding.

We humans were endowed with our capabilities, not by random acts of matter and energy, but something that too many want to continue to be in denial about.
