"Little did I know that among the pictures is a small red dot that will shake up our understanding of how the first galaxies formed after the Big Bang,"

“We looked into the very early universe for the first time and had no idea what we were going to find,” Leja explained. “It turns out we found something so unexpected it actually creates problems for science. It calls the whole picture of early galaxy formation into question.”

Really? Gawd these people are stupid.

"These objects are way more massive than anyone expected," explained astronomer Joel Leja. "We've discovered galaxies as mature as our own in what was previously understood to be the dawn of the universe."

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1:1)

The James Webb Space Telescope cost NASA $10 billion and launched in 2021. Many on the left are incensed that the telescope was named after a brilliant scientist who is accused of being complicit with homophobic firings at NASA in the 1950s and 1960s.

That is what befits "nearly spit out my coffee"

Let me guess. The software was engineered courtesy of Dominion. /s

Maybe. But do they _really know_ that?

one light year is 5.8 trillion miles. 13 billion light years is far too distant to glean any accurate info, inmyveryhumble opinion, no matter the capabilities of the Webb telescope.

These scales are impossible to fathom. For example:
A billion seconds ago it was 1992.
A billion minutes ago people who once knew Jesus were alive .

Now let’s talk 5.8 trillion miles X 13 billion( light years.) Damn, Webb must be pretty good.

To me, there’s a lot wrong with the current beliefs about the Big Bang Theory.

The “end” just happens to be at the point where our telescopes can see no farther.

The “end” looks similar no matter which direction we look, but we “couldn’t possibly be in the exact middle.

The theory requires a period of ‘Inflation’ at the beginning where the laws of physics and gravity are violated (mass disburses faster than the speed of light).

Everything before the Big Bang is unknown, but there is no God. A simple: “Let there be light.” certainly would simplify the theory.

The early Universe is going to get magnified in our viewing. We see a sphere 13 billion light years in radius that was much smaller at the time it formed. Therefore the image is magnified. Galaxies will look bigger but dimmer than we expected.
