To everyone who sees them, the new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) images of the cosmos are beautifully awe-inspiring. But to most professional astronomers and cosmologists, they are also extremely surprising—not at all what was predicted by theory.

The constant stream of mysteries, discoveries from the universe and theorizing & predicting explanations makes the field very exciting for those who can fathom it.
The problem with Creationism is that there is no experiment or observation that can either prove or disprove it. It's basically a "default" theory that one could resort to when there is no other explanation that is satisfactory for any reason.
