The universe, meaning the particles and space and time were created in the Big Bang. The distances aren't just about the speed of galaxies and stars moving. It's about space itself expanding.

I just did a search and the farthest observed object is 13.3 billion light years away. Where did you get your number?

His numbers and the premise of his question simply being wrong is indeed an answer.
