  If, according to you, the universe is expanding at velocity c (what does
that even mean?), and given that current measurements seem to indicate that
the expansion is actually accelerating, how do you explain this?

  Two questions:

1) What do you mean by "expanding at a velocity of at most c"? Where is
   this c velocity, and compared to what?

2) Since you have clearly agreed that the expansion of the universe is
   not bound to speed limitations between objects, then what is the
   phenomenon which limits the expansion of the universe to c?

  In other words, you seem to say "yes, it is possible for two points in
the universe to recede faster than c from each other, but that's not
happening anywhere in the universe". Why not?
