Ok. Here we go...I may have some trouble adequately explaining my query. We are able to look to distant stars, galaxies etc and effectively "see the past". Why are there (ignoring technological barriers) events that have occurred that we cannot see i.e. the light has not reached us yet? My query is based on the premise that all matter origated from a singularity. Did this original "explosion" happen at faster than the speed of light?
For the purposes of discussion, I come from a purely scientific standpoint.
You see, the Big Bang was arrived at by mathematics working on things that can be detected with man made instrumentation.
Now that mathematics took into account what we might call things in the observable (by man's senses) universe, and time and space, to go all the way back to a point which they call the singularity.
At this point scientists who are atheists have censored their intelligence to not go further.
So, if you are an atheist you should not go further with your intelligence.
