I have no idea, how they figure that. I still believe God created everything, no matter what scientist say. I just don't think it went down the Adam and Eve way. If we exist so can God.

We can't go back in time to see how the universe started
Yes , that can be done
When one goes out at night to look at the stars , they are seeing an image possibly millions of years old.

HHHHHHWAT? That doesn't tell us when the universe started.

But that would mean that the universe is only 27 Billion light years across, not 93 billion as is the latests estimates.
What does one consider the Universe ? In the case of expanding faster than light , one would be speaking of space and not physical objects such as galaxies.
I know that is not the best of examples , but one can search the internet for better .
Take a sheet of paper. Put a dot on each end. Now fold it. Now , open it back up. Did the dots move , or the space between them ?
Probably my last post today.
Tired.

What if God created everything using Science and Evolution?
Prove me wrong.

No , it does not. Space is being created ahead of the expansion , and expanded behind. Still moving at the 99.9% of the speed of light.
Tell me, what happens during the 2nd generation to get the 3rd generation?

Even if the universe was expanding like a balloon and we're on the surface of that balloon, it wouldn't explain us not being able to see a big bang 13 billion light years towards the center.
No to mention, looking at it in a 3D perspective, being on the surface of that balloon would still have an X/Y/Z axis. That means nothing in one direction, everything in the other direction.

Yep. You didn't go to my link , did you ? Most are Hubble and radio telescope views that show movements after the Great Expansion started.
The rest is doing the math.

That's kind of how I would envision it. Time would have so much more to do with everything because of gravity. It's almost like that little part is missing on a lot of theories. Red shifting for example. Black holes... Possible that gravity itself has time enveloping the black hole so what's inside does not show? Perhaps light could escape if it wasn't enveloped completely in the so far off past that we can't see it. Just a random thought for example.
Maybe space was just one big endless tub of hydrogen and one day something caused gravity to exist in one little spot and snap... the universe forms.
Also, the speed of the 'expanding universe'. I figure... and this is just a random hair brained thought... Since you can take a object and put a jet of fire behind it, it will push the rocket in whatever direction... Wouldn't galaxies and stars do pretty much the same thing? Would light make some sort of a propulsion? I know fire - heat - pressure does a pretty good job and that's something galaxies are full of.
Not a big believer in "dark matter - dark energy" myself.
Maybe explanations are just really that simple but we as 'scientist' just like to over complicate things far too much.

Would that mean that the universe is expanding into the 4th spatial dimension? Because the 2D surface of a balloon is expanding into 3D space.

Every idea starts as a Theory
Once upon a time it was theorized the world was round and circled the sun
It is just a little bit more complicated than that
Research
Theory
Peer review
Acceptance
So on and so forth
