While this may imply that at least one of these galaxie is traveling faster than lightspeed, it remains plausible that they both may be 10 billion lightyears from earth, yet only 15 lightyears apart, or they may be travelling in opposite directions from the center.

I'm trying to recall high school geometry and trig here, but if we imagine the earth to be a point between two identical sides (10 billion lightyears long)of a triangle, and the ogirin somewhere along the opposite side (between the two galaxies), the distance between the origin and either galaxy (the other two points) may be up to nearly 20 billion light years, depending upon their angular distance from earth.

If it were traveling faster than the speed of light, than it would have to be even further away than calculated at 10 billion ly. For if we are seeing it at 10billion ly, and it is 20billion ly apart from the opposite galaxy, and the universe is 15 billion years old, than it is traveling faster than the speed of light.

Which means it is actually 15 billion ly away from us.

Or the light we are seeing was generated at 5 billion ly away, and is just arriving here, which means the galaxy has been travling an additional 5 billion ly, making 10 all together. If that light is only 5 billion years old, than the light we are seeing from the other dirction is only 5 billion ly away, making the lights we are seeing only 10 billion ly apart from the light in the opposite direction.

In either case, the galaxies are futher apart thn 15 billion ly, so one of them or both are traveling at speeds greater than light.

OR the calculations are all off, light can travel at variable speeds, and the scientist are all lying atheist.
