Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Why can we see the CMBR coming towards us from every direction?

My question is this. As I understand things, when the big bang happened, time started, and everything started to move away from that central point. Why is it then that we can look back in time to a period close to the big bang. Surely we would have to be moving away from the big bang at faster than the speed of light to do this? I thought that this was impossible! I can understand that when looking at distant objects we see them at a time in the past, but, surely as they came from the same origin as us then there must even be a limit to this.
