Observations of space show that galaxies are moving away from us as observers on earth. How is this related to how the universe formed?

The universe was formed by the Big Bang which was an explosion that forced pressurized matter outwards space, expanding the universe and distancing the material. The fact that galaxies are moving away from Earth shows that the universe continues to move in the same manner as when the universe was formed.
