It's purr speculation to say because they are moving away that they were once together. It's as much speculation as all those pieces of evidence you said "it is not constant." and by the way, the irregular decreasing of the strength of the earths magnetic will affect how much carbon 14 existed thousands of years ago making it appear that they are tens of thousands of years old. You brought that up yourself.

So what is your alternative explanation for why the universe is expanding?
Remembering that the BBT has made testable predictions that proved correct.

First, saying that everything was once together is not explaining why it's expanding. That we don't know. We don't know why it's expanding but we know it is just like we don't know why matter has gravity but we know it does. Second what predictions? That hydrogen is the most abundant element? Sorry, we knew that before the BBT.

See Zen, go ahead and clap one hand if you really want to but just realize that it's an exercise in futility.
