Because it does not suck?

Are you asking why would the universe expand if there was a God?

hhmm, don't know.
Great question

It will slow down in time.... and then, just as it has done in the past, it will contract to a pin-point of energy that will explode outwards all over again.

Groundhog Day.

It's all very routine.

It's anybody's guess.

It's push, not pull factors that has us spinning through space at the moment.

The one-off Big Bang theory has been thoroughly trashed, of course. It was a favourite of the Goddists, and so enjoyed quite a run in the popularity polls.

Nobody wanted to risk their university cosmology grants from the government by announcing they believed the Big Bang theory was a religious hoax based upon keeping faith with Genesis in the Bible.

As we now know, the universe breathes in and breathes out like a huge lung. Or like a spherical tide in constant ebb and flow.

Although I am a card-carrying atheist (NOT a communist) ~ I'm not entirely sure there isn't an invisible 'Intelligence' operating in the universe.

I'm not entirely convinced that Evolutionary Theory accounts for all of the mind-boggling complexities of the living organism. The extraordinary cleverness of the human body alone gives pause for thought if there isn't something beyond Natural Selection and the evolving complexities of the higher orders of species.

Needless to say, by no stretch of the imagination would I try to hawk the highly improbable fiction that there is a moral God.

A practical, artisan God - maybe. But moral? Not a chance.

Previous events of a cosmic nature. The last Big Bang and all the ones before it. We can take the past as being the history that has gone before this current point in time.

Herbert's Helpful Hint: Don't get too hung up on cosmological theories upon the nature and structure of the universe. Even Einstein has been found in error on several points. Cosmology is an evolving science. It was only 40 years ago that all the previous theories concerning the nature of the sun had to be trashed because new technology had proved them wrong.

Whole university libaries across the world had a book-burning of their solar-theory text books. The whole lot became landfill overnight.

So don't stand too much in awe of current theories. They are only speculation after all.   

The material universe is expanding into the eternal abyss of space.

The Hindus decided the world was cyclic, the Jews decided it was temporal ... in all cases the master decides what the universe does.

That's only an illusion because of relativity factors.
