The central point I make there, that the BBT is based around a very basic logical fallacy, in trying to use the premise of spacetime to explain the expansion of space, since it ignores the central premise of relativity, that the speed of light is constant in all frames. If it is redshifted, intergalactic light is not constant to intergalactic space, becomes an interesting sociological study, as even those most open to new ideas will simply drop the conversation and walk away, when they see it, rather than step out of the belief system.

I reminds me of a Cotholic priest and future in-law, at the time, questioning my fealty to the Holy Trinity, given I'm not Catholic. I explained I saw it as an analogy for the absolute, the extant and the infinite. He crossed himself and walked away.
