For instance, he cites that inflation seems impossible given limitations such as the speed of light but fails to mention that inflation is theorized to have occurred in the instant prior to the solidifying of the physical laws of the universe.

Inflation doesn't involve changes to the speed of light.

Inflation doesn't involve changes to the speed of light.

If the space through which a beam of light is traveling (at light speed) is simultaneously stretching, then there doesn't have to be a change in the speed of light for light to traverse more than one light year per year.

Picture two ants, walking on the surface of an expanding balloon, for example.
