> why is that expansion faster than the speed of light

Because it's space expanding, not something moving inside of space. It doesn't follow the same rules.

I find this to be the crux of the issue. To be exempt from the rules that material things must follow, you simply need to designate it as space.

If space is what fills an area between object A and object B and that space grows or expands. This is no different than object A moving away from object B. What's the difference? There seems to be none.
