How do they really know? Nothing but total darkness with a big spot in the middle? Yeh, well, there’s a couple light spots in the same pic. May as well call them galaxies, cuz what else can source that much light from such great distances?

That's not a galaxy! it's just a thin spot in the fabric of the trash bag surrounding us

"...precisely dated it to just 367 million years..."

A hilarious adverb used here.

So in other words we are looking at a galaxy 13.5 billion years ago. That time is so beyond human comprehension. It’s like trying to imagine the vacancy of Joe Bidens brain, nothingness upon nothingness, zero upon zero,

Quoting Moses (Numbers 23:23), as echoed by Samuel Morse:
"What hath God wrought!"

I’m just a dumb layman, but if the first lights were just coming on at that time, how are there already fully formed galaxies full of mature stars with heavy elements?

Big whoop. I see a lot of cash wasted for little to no benefit.

Let’s spend for research and exploration in the near-earth area of our solar system.

“I’m just a dumb layman, but if the first lights were just coming on at that time, how are there already fully formed galaxies full of mature stars with heavy elements?”

To answer:

1) stars form when enough dust gathers in one place. Usually that process leads to many stars forming at once. So we get galaxies pretty early.

2) One of the things that is interesting about these galaxies is they are missing the heavy elements. Almost all primordial hydrogen and helium without the wider collection we see in our stars.

Observations could outstrip their ability to adjust their models to fit those observations.

Potentially leading to an imperative to throw said models in the ash pit of scientific history.

...astronomers have precisely dated it to just 367 million years after the Big Bang...

I had to check to see if this was the Babylon Bee.

LOL!

“Big whoop. I see a lot of cash wasted for little to no benefit.”

Perhaps, but perhaps it is asking these most important questions that will get the most important answers.

It started as whispers, but there is an ever growing conversation among physicists that our universe shows clear evidence for being created.

I think there is a real chance that in the next few decades science proves the existence of God.

Imagine the consequences of that. The secularization of our society that has been going on for 100 years could be suddenly reversed.

If we don’t know ‘when’, how can we tell how long ‘after’?................
