You said in your post "How much space does all of the matter in the universe actually require? None. There is no theory of which I am aware that requires space to have matter." I am not sure what you are talking about, or how you got that from my post. Sorry, I should have went into greater detail.

As for John Barrow, professor of astronomy at the University of Sussex in England, he is one of the more prolific writers on current cosmology, so he is not ill-informed. As for being a fool, I don't have a clue, never meet the man.

So here is my point.

No theory of science, at this point in time, is able to explain the origins of the universe well enough to exclude God. Genisis or any number of other creation myths can be inseted into the gaps, or taken as a metaphore.
Therefore it is a waste of time to try and "prove" genisis is NOT possible.
