New research by Takuya Hashimoto at Osaka Sangyo University and colleagues suggest that the first stars formed “250 million years” after the big bang. This is some “150 million years” earlier than previously assumed.
This was supposed to be too early for star formation, as the Dark Age was thought to continue until some “400 million years” after the big bang.
The big bang has other problems as well, for instance missing antimatter, cosmic inflation, quantum fluctuation, missing dark matter and the likewise elusive dark energy.
In addition, the earliest galaxies formed too quickly.
“He [God] made the stars also,” Genesis tells us. That is by far the best explanation for the existence of the universe.
