No need, the cosmic expansion fits the observational data,

Dark energy, inflation, acceleration.

I think the door is open for a more elegant fit. Especially since
we're talking about scientific hypotheses here, not religious dogma.

Can you articulate how any of those words conflicts with general
relativity and the big bang theory?

Choose a slight positive cosmological constant--for the current
accelerated expansion and give it a different value during the
inflationary epoch.

You said expansion fits the evidence beautifully.

But not until all those fixes are put into place.

Are you confusing "fixes" and observations? Can you articulate
how any of those words conflicts with general relativity and
the big bang theory? Actually, it's not the words that are
important, but the data.... have you any observational data
that conflicts with the big bang theory?
