To say nothing has moved is clearly ludicrous. Any force calculation that I know of will have changed. And you can't call out the dreaded relativistic corrections, because you have stated the objects are not moving.
Next, I know of no observation of anything traveling faster than the speed of light in vacuo. And the paper openly states that velocities v > c are possible since they cannot be observed(essentially). That statement puts inflation in the category of faith and not science. Thus a person holding to inflation should never complain about any other introduction of faith into science.
Actually that was the first reaction that I had along with others in the class. Once you get past the notion that space is nothing and matter fills it up, you get closer to the concept. One way to look at it is that space is something that is everywhere. It can be stretched and pulled. Then matter precipitates out of it when it is sufficinetly distorted.
Unfortunately we're stuck with inflation until somebody finds something new to look at.
That's O.J. jury logic. Nobody on the jury saw O.J. do it, so no amount of evidence will ever be sufficient to pronounce a guilty verdict. The glove, the shoes, the CMBR were all planted by "the man" to fool us.
You're conflating scientific theory with faith, therefore your conclusion is wrong.
