I’m having trouble with the whole big bang thing with this. Why for instance, if the bang went off 13 billion years ago, can you not see the edge of the universe at about 7 billion light years out? How did these galaxys get so far out after only 1/2 billion years?
On the other hand, is this now enough matter to support the bang?
I think we are looking at creation, not science.

Easiest if you look at it this way.
The big bang didn’t “happen”.
The big bang is still happening.

One thing that's often misunderstood is that we can only see so far. We can see to the edge of our own light horizon and no further. That doesn't mean that if someone was at the edge of our light horizon couldn't see just as far beyond what we can see.

"I think we are looking at creation..."When I look at those images I think of home,I think of the timeless eternity we will spend with the Creator of all that is.I think of the Captain of our salvation leading many sons to glory.To see the creation is to know the Creator.It leaves me in humbled awe at what He has wrought and who He is.
