Some galaxies are bright.

Some galaxies are stupid.

Which one do we live in?....................

The main problem is not so much conflicting theories as conflicting evidence. MOND predicts no dark matter, and seems to explain what JWST is seeing. But we are also seeing direct evidence of dark matter by way of gravitational lensing. Namely, in the Bullet Cluster where dark matter and visible matter have separated, yet lensing occurs where not enough visible matter exists.

suggesting a rapid galactic formation...

Fiction can also be "rapid" formation, at least on a galactic scale

So what does this mean for the Big Bang theory?

Dr. Jason Lisle predicted a lot of what James Webb telescope is now seeing because he is creationist and also a astronomist. See https://biblicalscienceinstitute.com/astronomy/the-james-webb-space-telescope/

Lensing occurs where not enough visible matter can be seen because space itself is compressed in the early universe and causing the lensing effect. Like light passing thru water and air, it gets shifted..................

Well, since ours is headed to Andromeda, I’d say it’s damn stupid.

I have been reading a book about this since my childhood. It perfectly describes the beginning of the heavens and the Earth in the start of chapter 1.

Perfectly, perhaps, but in not much detail. That’s not its purpose anyway, any more than a book on gardening is expected to tell you how a lawn mower engine works.

“So what does this mean for the Big Bang theory?”

It means precisely what glaciers melting, glaciers forming, more tornadoes, and less tornadoes mean for “Climate Change”...every aberration or discovery only proves the a priori assumption.

Sounds like God’s handiwork is confounding we mere mortals...yet again.

This doesn't put the Big Bang theory into question, since there is still irrefutable evidence that the universe is expanding. But there are aspects or variations of that theory which are in question now; in this case the role of dark matter in shaping the early universe.

No, what does this mean for the Creation theory?

God spoke - it came into existence.

Really simple.....

The same answer I get asking where did the first atom come from what made matter.

Oh well

Where did the singularity of the Great Black Hole that started the Big Bang come from?............😉
