Here´s a very relevant question regarding the OP in this thread.
Subject: The Hubble Space Telescope findings questions the standing Big Bang ideas of formation and time.
According to the standing ideas of
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, galaxies were the last objects to be formed but - once again - astronomers are surpriced by new observations of an elliptical galaxy which shouldn´t be there according to the BB Nucleosynthesis.

Quoting from the Hubble Site Website:
“Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope as a "time machine" have obtained the clearest views yet of distant galaxies that existed when the universe was a fraction of its current age.
A series of remarkable pictures, spanning the life history of the cosmos, are providing the first clues to the life history of galaxies. The Hubble results suggest that elliptical galaxies developed remarkably quickly into their present shapes.
However, spiral galaxies that existed in large clusters evolved over a much longer period - the majority being built and then torn apart by dynamic processes in a restless universe.
Astronomers, surprised and enthusiastic about these preliminary findings, anticipate that Hubble's observations will lead to a better understanding of the origin, evolution, and eventual fate of the universe.
The Hubble observations challenge those estimates for the age of the universe that do not allow enough time for the galaxies to form and evolve to the maturity seen at an early epoch by Space Telescope”.

So, we have an elliptical galaxy which wa
s at stage "when the universe was a fraction of its current age" whereas "normal" spiral galaxies takes much more time to evolve according to the BB Nucleosynthesis ideas.

As either the cosmological "timing and age of the Univers" or the assumed "formational process of the Universe" is wrong (and maybe both), it will be very interesting how astronomers and theoretical physicisist reacts on this.
What can a better understanding of the origin and evotution be when the assumed BB Nucleosynthesis don´t follow the BB time scales and vise versa?
Will the scientists act accordingly to the scientific rules and methods and revise or entirely discard the contradicted BB ideas?
Or do they just add further assumptions and make exceptions of more strange "dark matters" as usual?
