I'm really disappointed by this discussion and the RTB stuff that's been brought up in general, I was looking forward to a good slugfest but there is nothing to fight against :-( the Creationist side is really weak retoric, bad science and dishonesty.
P.s. Due to time's relationship with speed and the inevitability of probability in an infinite system an expanding universe could also be a continuum of linear universes.... Im sure there is an official theory on that, although I don't have the name of it - but if I could realise that while off my face then I'm sure a million way smarter people have already been working on it
