It's not just an opinion that the inflation rate is increasing, nor is there ONE rational theory inside your universe that accounts for it,

I never said that, and it is not my contention. The singularity that created the universe was not a "dot of matter". It was nothing that can be described by any language that we possess, but it certainly was no "dot of matter".

So you contend that the second law of thermodynamics did not apply to the singularity?

If it has a boundary, that suggests something outside it. Please, illuminate me as to what is "outside" the universe, and what evidence you have for it?

You have no evidence to say that the known universe is all there is and yet you assert that it is. A true scientific position would be "maybe , maybe not , we don't know".... but the way you argue depends upon a pre-supposition which says that it is all there is.
