Of course the universe doesn’t need to be eternally expanding.

And the rules by which it expands can change as scales change, just as quantum mechanics is different from macro mechanics, making any ‘proof’ that posits similar rules at differnt scales rather irrelevant.

So now the laws of physics CAN change?

And creationists are regularly castigated for even alluding to or suggesting that....

What's your proof?

The laws of physics definitely do change!

I can prove from data that I have collected and stored with high precision GPS receivers over the last 24 years that the velocity of light used to compute the GPS ephemeris has changed several times during that period. Light is slowing down.

Of course a curved line has different asympotes at different places along its lengths.

Measure in one place, you get one slope. measure another you get another place.

That is part of the point of relativity. Newton made his measurements of the gravitational constant using a swinging weight. If you measure that at near light speed, you get a different value.

Rules based on the measured asympote will be different at different locations along the curve.
