I’m referring to the standard big bang model. I know that there are other possibilities. I don’t know how you got the idea that I said that space was not expanding. The point that I was making is that space does not have to expand “into” anything. It’s a flawed premise. Sure it’s strange intuitively. (dark matter has nothing to do with it as far as we know)

Second paragraph:

you are still thinking in terms of some time before the big bang.

heaven: who says what does and does not matter?

I suppose the best argument I can make for you, that some sort of cause is not always necessary for a universe, is that such a universe, described by the no boundary condition, is mathematically consistent.
