Someone posted a video in a thread I started about science that deals with "why is the sky black at night" that also hints at part of the problem.
The distances are not fixed from the point of origin and ourselves (or vice versa). Space and time are stretching, so something moving towards us is having to cover that distance, plus the fact that we are also moving further away at the same time. Ergo, the red shift.
