I was watching a space documentary in which they were observing a galaxy that was approximately 13 billion light years away. Which should be about 700 million years after the big bang there for even if it was moving at the speed of light (which would not make sense seeing as it was a galaxy and could not have been forming and going the speed of light because in that case time would not pass within it, according to Einsteins theory of relativity) it could only have moved 700 million light years away away from the center of the universe, or more definitively this point where the big bang happened. This means that since that time the milky way galaxy would of had to move at least 12.3 billion light years in the other direction in order to get here in time for the light to hit us after moving 13 million light years away from the point where this galaxy was when it sent the light towards the milky way. This point as I have already mentioned had to be within 700 million light years of where the big bang occurred and assuming we moved in the direct opposite direction we had to cover a distance of 12.3 million light years in a time of 13.7 billion years which would mean we were moving at 89% the speed of light on average. This simply cannot be true it would throw out our entire sense of time because if we had been moving at that speed only a few billion years would have passed to us since the beginning of time, so there is a major problem in big bang theory as i see it if everything started at one point how could it have gotten so far away without either breaking the speed of light or travel ling near it for an extended amount of time, both are inconsistent with some of the most basic laws of the universe.

A good sized block of hard to read text you have there
I suggest doing an edit and breaking things down into a few paragraphs or something. Please insert a blank line in between paragraphs.
Maybe some other rewriting would also be a good thing. Right now trying to read that this makes my eyes cross.
Also, a little more specific to your question topic title would be nice. You can also do that via editing message 1.
