Big Bang Threatened by Giant Galaxies

Posted by -

Go out on some clear night and look up at the stars, realizing the beauty that the Creator has provided. Get away from city lights and see more stars. People have built telescopes to see even more. The Hubble space telescope provided amazing images, and the Webb has yielded truly amazing images.

You probably know that one reason the James Webb Space Telescope was put up there in the first place was to support the Big Bang and cosmic evolution stories. Instead, it has caused consternation in the deep time camp.

Since galaxies have many stars, sometimes in the multiple millions, they are rather complex structures. Some formation stories (such as galaxies merging) would ruin their shapes. Cosmologists have their stories about how galaxies formed, but there is no observational evidence to back up the stories. The JWST was pointed at what was assumed to be the early universe...it did not go well.

Creationist predictions were confirmed, and mature — not "primitive" — galaxies were found. One galaxy had what astronomers call "heavy metals," which are elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. Not supposed to be there. Add more to the mix and cosmologists still cling to deep time and uniformitarianism instead of admitting that the evidence shows recent creation. Yippie ky yay, secularists!
In an enlightening fashion, more recent findings from the James Webb Telescope turn the gradual evolutionary story on its head.  

In a recent article published in Nature Astronomy, evolutionary astronomers described their ‘surprising’ finding of the ‘Big Wheel’ galaxy: an unusually huge galaxy thought to be formed within the first two billion years of the 13.8-billion-year universe, making it around 12 billion years old—that is, according to evolutionary assumptions. 

But what makes this Big Wheel run over the gradual Big Bang theory? The authors admit that “this galaxy…is surprisingly similar to today’s largest disks with regard to size and mass.” [emphasis added]
