Let there be light-eventually

We start off the book and our story with the sudden explosion of our universe into existence known as the big bang. In the next paragraph, we quote the Bible, when God said, "let there be light". We left out the part in Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 where God "created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty and darkness covered the deep waters." Of course we now know that earth formed much later, but new research has uncovered the beginning of light in our universe-hundreds of millions of years after the Big Bang. Now scientists have been able to observe the signs of beginning of life using the James Webb telescope and reported their work in Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07043-6?utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=commission_junction&utm_campaign=CONR_PF018_ECOM_GL_PBOK_ALWYS_DEEPLINK&utm_content=textlink&utm_term=PID100052570&CJEVENT=2ea1de0e411411ef821d007e0a82b820. Popular Mechanics reported this research here: https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/deep-space/a61547162/dwarf-galaxies-jwst-reionization/#.
