Does the expansion of the Universe break the speed of light?

– Matty

Just 13.8 billion years after the hot Big Bang, we can see 46.1 billion light-years away in all directions. Doesn’t that violate…something?

The cardinal rule of relativity is that there’s a speed limit to the Universe, the speed of light, that nothing can break.
And yet, when we look at the most distant of objects, their light has been traveling for no more than 13.8 billion years, but appears much farther away.
Here’s how that doesn’t break the speed of light; it only breaks our outdated, intuitive notions of how reality ought to behave.

Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.
(Psalms 139:16) NKJV

When we (that’s me and the Holy spirit) tell people that we believe that the sun orbits the Earth, few people make it past their incredulity. Of those who do, most respond by saying that the sun’s mass makes this impossible.

Redshift

Heaven belongs to the Lord alone,
but he gave the earth to us humans.
(Psalms 115:16) Good News Translation

A reason why mainstream science (SciPop) is convinced that a firmament is impossible is the supposed expansion of the universe.

Mainstream Science Excuses

O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge— by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith.
(1 Timothy 6:20-21) NKJV

Mainstream Science (SciPop) is an inductive rationalization of the premise that the universe doesn’t require a divine or supernatural cause. All evidence of the supernatural has to be rationalized as something else.
