... So now, with the Hubbell, we can almost see the Big Bang?
So what exactly is stopping us, why can't we in fact see it?
If we could see it, it sure would solve a lot of arguments,
and answer a lot of questions.

Maybe we have to be at just the right distance from where the Big Bang
happened, so that the light can have all of those billions of years to
get to us?

There is no such thing as "distance from where the Big Bang happened."
The Big Bang was the origin of the Universe as a whole. The present
Universe, and every place in it, originated in the Bang.

Then you are saying there was not an explosion, but that the stars and
galaxies just appeared randomly out of nothingness.

Are you sure you want to do that?

What you are proposing is creationism.

I'll compromise with you:

The Big Bang was an explosion at what is today the center of the universe,
and God set off the explosion.

And before the Big Bang was a flat world that existed forever backward in
time, which became the primordial egg from which the Big Bang exploded.

We are getting to where we can almost see the Big Bang.

If we see it, maybe we will be able to see the world that existed before it.
