Metric expansion is a key feature of Big Bang cosmology, is modeled mathematically with the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker metric and is a generic property of the universe we inhabit.
BTW, I'm not interested in your angry questions about minor details.
Oh, and then there's the "particle physics as cosmology" people, with symmetry group E8, etc.

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.
Blah, blah,bnlah.
You are confused. I never said that BB theory isn't cosmology, I merely said that BB cosmology is dominated by mathematicians who do not appear to be very interested in scientific evidence. Years of reading Nature Cosmology has only yielded one or two mathematicians who have published interesting papers - Lee Smolin and Abhay Ashtekar, both on space quantization.
