Imagine two kettles on opposite sides of the Earth. When they reach 100 deg they are going to be at the same temperature and they don't need to be in communication with each other to do that.
Do try to learn some real science instead of spouting the inane drivel that the cretinists vomit up.
Actually, he appears to have some idea of what he is talking about. But his limited idea seems to be a reharsh of some talking points presented in some creationist bullshit, and he personally is either too ignorant to follow in real scientific journals where the science has led since the problem was stated; or too dishonest to memtion the massive amount of data science has geathered that contradicts biblical cosmology, while harping on the tiny amount that seems to his blurred vision to be susceptible to such contortions as required to give his biblical account a few inches of wiggle room in which to to eek out another round.

Original Big bang theory didn't. An enhanced model called inflation theory does.
Speed of light is in relation to space itself, and is a constant value C in a absolute vacumn. Rate of expansion of space itself is however not fundamentally constrained by any principle we know of.
So yes, space can expand at any arbitrary rate, but even while space expands at many times speed of light, light within space still travels at speed of light in relation to space itself.
