Journalists rarely understand the topics they write about, and this is especially true of science journalism. In reality, the James Webb telescope has indeed revealed galactic structures not predicted by current models - which means the models are wrong. As for the "big bang" every other piece of evidence gathered over the last 50 years strongly supports this theory. Without such an event, the CMB could not exist.

While it's amusing to read sensationalist nonsense in the tabloids, and while many scientists now feel the need to sensationalize minor papers in order to garner fleeting publicity, it's very unwise to imagine that one can trust silly newspaper headlines.

In summary, if the big bang had not occurred then (a) we'd not see the CMB, (b) we'd not see the Hubble redshift, (c) we'd not see these proto-galaxies but instead far larger structures with much older stars, and (d) everything we've observed over the last 50 years would have to be magically explained in some other way.
