"According to a news report quoting one physicist (who does not believe the big bang happened),
Of course, that’s what we should expect because the big bang didn’t happen!To everyone who sees them, the new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) images of the cosmos are beautifully awe-inspiring. But to most professional astronomers and cosmologists, they are also extremely surprising—not at all what was predicted by theory. In the flood of technical astronomical papers published online since July 12, the authors report again and again that the images show surprisingly many galaxies, galaxies that are surprisingly smooth, surprisingly small and surprisingly old. Lots of surprises, and not necessarily pleasant ones. One paper’s title begins with the candid exclamation: “Panic!”Why do the JWST’s images inspire panic among cosmologists? And what theory’s predictions are they contradicting? The papers don’t actually say. The truth that these papers don’t report is that the hypothesis that the JWST’s images are blatantly and repeatedly contradicting is the Big Bang Hypothesis that the universe began 14 billion years ago in an incredibly hot, dense state and has been expanding ever since. Since that hypothesis has been defended for decades as unquestionable truth by the vast majority of cosmological theorists, the new data is causing these theorists to panic.
Now, of course, this doesn’t mean the
big bang is dead or that physicists and astronomers are suddenly
becoming creationists. Many will disagree with the interpretation of the
data and come up with more rescuing devices to try and save the big
bang. But it does show that the data doesn’t match what’s predicted if
the big bang happened. And, of course, that’s what we should expect
because the big bang didn’t happen!
As you look at the images from the James
Webb Space Telescope, be in awe of the incredible beauty, wonder, and
order of the heavens. But don’t stop there. Turn in praise to the One
who created all of that and sums it up with the simple phrase, “he made
the stars also” (Genesis 1:16b, NKJV)." AIG
