Nobody. This phenomenon cannot be observed experimentally. It's just a corollary from relative theory used for convenience.

It's impossible to assume that God exists and think rationally at the same time.

The inflation of the Universe doesn't depend on lightspeed, light moving inside it along a straight line in fact would return to the point it was radiated from. It can be understood with the analogy of 2D objects living in the surface of a sphere. Any 2D objects can move infinitely in any direction, but the sphere itself has a finite radius.
