In the Big Bang, <u>galaxies do not move through space (except for small, local motions)</u>. <b>Galaxies do not get farther apart because of any motion.</b> Instead, they get farther apart because new space is being continually created and added between galaxies.

If there is only "LOCAL" motions of the galaxies then how do you explain galaxies that collide?

They reaslly are tiny compared with redshift "expansion" motions. -|Tom|-
