Answer:

more distant galaxies are moving away faster.

the shift towards red (Doppler effect like with sound on Earth) is the indication.

Step-by-step explanation:

what did this have to do with biology ?

and by the way, this is also something I debate severely in scientific communities, because yes, the red shift is there. but "more distant" also means "more in the past", so that the data shows us actually that things in the past moved faster away. not necessarily today ...
