What Does Gravity Have To Do WithThe Expanding Universe?

What Does Gravity Have To Do WithThe Expanding Universe?
I've read some (I suppose they were) scientists argue that there’s not enough gravity to reverse inflation and cause the universe to collapse back to where it was before the Big Bang.

Gravity affects matter, but according to ye ol’ raisin bread dough theory it’s not matter but space that’s expanding. Why would scientists use the properties of matter and gravity to understand something that has nothing to do with either?

If we understand the properties of “space” and what’s causing it to expand, we will be able to predict whether it will one day (or eon) collapse.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
