Well, when you consider the area of space you are looking at is smaller than a grain of sand held at arm's length. and that the telescope is what, a million miles from Earth? Lagrange 2 or L2.
Astronomers are bouncing off the walls in anticipation of James Webb Telescope images release.

I am telling you there is so many videos about it now its ridiculous
I mean lets be honest we aren‘t going to be around long enough to figure out how it started….

The "Cosmic Cliffs" of the Carina Nebula is seen in an image divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion.
Stephan’s Quintet, a collection of five galaxies, as seen by MIRI from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope,
A group of five galaxies that appear close to each other in the sky: two in the middle, one toward the top, one to the upper left, and one toward the bottom are seen in a mosaic or composite of near and mid-infrared data
Two side-by-side images show observations of the Southern Ring Nebula in near-infrared light, at left, and mid-infrared light, at right,
In the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) image, the white dwarf appears to the lower left of the bright, central star, partially hidden by a diffraction spike. The same star appears – but brighter, larger, and redder – in the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) image. This white dwarf star is cloaked in thick layers of dust, which make it appear larger.

What am I not understanding about this…..these are pictures from billions of years ago?
Yes. Since these images are billions of light years away, it took light from these images a billion years to reach us. These images are probably not even in existence anymore.
Perhaps, but in most cases with science, we have to remember that it is "scientists" that are saying such things, not science itself.
"Scientists" have even put forward ideas that there are multiple universes, although they can't answer how those came about either.
Personally, I'm going with the Biblical story of the creation of the universe, but in almost any "supposed" theory as to how it happened, it still could have been God that did it "that way."
I've always thought that the Biblical version had as much supporting evidence as any other.
It's odd, but in every culture there is a version of the Flood; some version of Noah's Ark. Even primitive tribes that had never heard of Christianity have some version of The Flood story.
