I wouldn't be so quick to judge.
We know roughly how old the universe is and how large it is. We also know that
it is expanding at an ever increasing rate. But into what? Does science have an
answer to that? Nothingness?
If it is "nothingness", then this nothingness gives way to the somethingness
that is the universe when it is expanding. But then we have somehow incorporated
the nothingness into our reality, and we have also expanded the universe to
infinity. But only a part of that universe is the somethingness in which we and
other stuff can exist.
If the expanding universe is *not* replacing some other stuff occupying the
space that it is expanding into, then you need to explain how that is done. That
would be a completely new process to science, right?
I can go on for quite a while longer, but what I want to say is that the
question is far from foolish. At the very least, it will result in another question.
