In order for the universe to expand that rapidly, the matter that existed in the first instance of the universe would have to travel MUCH faster than the speed of light. No. The space is expanding. The mass is just staying put within the space.

I don't think this is going to get across. The concepts are just a little too difficult for most folks to grasp, I'm afraid.
The concept of space isn't something that most people understand, and it's hard to explain, since it requires stepping away from observable reality.

Then wouldn't each body of mass be "seen" to grow as already formed planets, suns, etc?

Or, is the writer trying to say that the condensed mass was so hot within his "soup" that it could only condense to planets, etc. by expanding?
