Every direction we look is the direction we are moving away from. And we
do, in fact, see the glowing core of the Big Bang- it's called the
cosmic microwave background.

Of course, you're perfectly correct in pointing out that the Big Bang
wasn't an explosion in any real sense. Thinking of it as an explosion
has to be understood as an analogy, and can't be taken literally.
