Metric expansion is a key feature of Big Bang cosmology, is modeled mathematically with the Friedmann-LemaƮtre-Robertson-Walker metric and is a generic property of the universe we inhabit.

Yet more off-topic stuff that doesn't even begin to adress anything I've said, nor answers the question why the BB theory supposedly isn't cosmology.
Not to mention more baseless, personalised accusations.
