This is from Aristotle What a degeneration of the great tradition of philosophy since Kant! ----"A Brief History of Time"

30. Before the 20th century, no one had ever suggested that the universe was expanding or contracting. This interestingly reflects the thinking atmosphere at that time. It is generally believed that the universe has either existed in an unchanging state for an infinite period of time, or that it was created in a finite past in more or less the way we see it today. This may be partly due to people's tendency to believe in eternal truths, but also to the comforting notion that the universe must be immortal and unchanging, even though we are subject to birth, old age, illness and death. ----"A Brief History of Time"
