It is a bunch of self important people mostly spouting about things they have no knowledge of, but to show how stupid I am, here is my critique of your scenario. The bolded, "it has always been" is where you violate science by the bucket load. First, uncaused and infinite existence are traits of a deity; effectively you make the universe have those traits rather than having a God to have those traits. That is fine if you want to do it, but know that you really are creating a mindless god with your mumblings. Secondly your use of before and past is ridiculous in the scientific sense. Time was created along with space by the big bang. There was no 'before' or infinity past because time didn't exist prior to the BB unless you just make it up like a 3rd grader who says, this sounds good and smart. One can't use time as a marker prior to time's creation. Science knows that the Big bang created more than what we can see in our Hubble volume, but we don't have a clue how much was created.
Having set up your little idol of the expanse, I guess you would prefer worshipping it rather than a God, that is fine, that is your choice to do. It is mine to worship God and dispense with the 2nd grade science to avoid his existence.
Finally you don't have a shred of observational evidence for your expanse but you think it sounds so scientific. It doesn't. Science is about observation and data, not about incoherent philosophical mutterings.
