So are you saying that Hubble is looking far back enough that no stars could have formed from previous stars? I'm not sure we can say that as some stars blow their fuel and go supernova in only a few million years.
I'm saying that accoring to EARLY gas model predictions, galaxies didn't even form for billion(S - plural) of years after the BB. This evidence suggests that wasn't even close to being accurate. In fact, as far back as we can see, we find an ABUNDANCE of heavier material, and in fact the SAME materials we find in our own sun today.

Now if the BB wasn't simply a giant explosion, but more of a SLAM or a BLOOM, then the whole gas model goes "poof". What evidence do you have that iron has not ALWAYS existed? Give me ONE piece of evidence to support your case that Hubble didn't just trump with these images.
(bolding mine)
All references I can find put the first stars and galaxies forming between 300 million to 1 billion years after the big bang. Are you inferring that scientists "adjusted" these figures after seeing hubble data? Cite please!
