That was never my point to begin with. I was arguing under the theory that perhaps space did exist for eternity. But there are still a wide range of issues such a matter overlooks.
I may as well list them out to avoid further confusion: Space is the foundation for science as we know it (as well as energy), and therefore the human concept of physics can arguably limited to realities existing in space-time alone. This being said, the Big Bang Theory ******* the expansion of space and time, which brings a critical flaw into the theory. In order for space to expand itself, it must expand into something.
If we were under the ********** space was expanding constantly into some unknown entity other than space, that entity would more than likely possess another foundation of "physics" than space itself. This would imply that space would be contorted according to the physics of that entity, if the entity itself existed at all.
However, denying the existence of that entity which space "expands into" would imply that space is expanding into pure nothingness. The concept of pure nothingness is void of color (including black- the lack thereof), of space, and of time. The idea of nothingness is not merely the lack of anything, but the inability to exist within. It has no laws of p...

The concept of pure nothingness is void of color (including black- the lack thereof), of space, and of time. The idea of nothingness is not merely the lack of anything, but the inability to exist within. It has no laws of physics, and it cannot be a foundation. Therefore, under the ********** of the Big Bang, if space were to expand as it suggests, then it must rest upon another foundation with compatible laws of physics.
I do not believe the Big Bang is without its credit, and I believe it is a brilliant theory, but it simply cannot explain the entire picture at hand. Even if this is attributed to the current lack of technology to measure and define space, I do believe our concept of science will falter outside of space and a new concept of physics may or may not form in a realm outside of the "current expansion" of our universe.
