well, the inflation theory of the big bang and the increasing speed of expansion of the universe from dark energy probably would account for us being 'ahead' of this light enough to see it.

That's what I said.... we have to be moving faster than the light from the big bang for any of what they are saying to be true. So we should be able to look back and see planet earth somewhere in the past. Right?

Gotta love this new term 'dark energy.' I'm seeing it alot now. It is something that we know not what it is, but we give it a name 'dark energy' and attribute actions to it, leading us less than scientific folks into believing that 'dark energy' is something of which we know something about...when the fact is we have no clue what 'dark energy' is or what it does, if it exists or doesn't or what actions to attribute to it if it does. Dark energy, hmmmmm....
