Big Bang critics had argued that the failure to detect of first born generation (Pop3**) stars, falsified all big bang models. Since the universe started with 3 basic elements (hydrogen, helium, lithium), the first generation stars would have been compose of these elements virtually metal free (metal is formed in later population stars). Until recently only Pop 1 & 2 stars were detected. Recent discoveries of Pop 3 stars validates the biblical account: the cosmos began. and consequently it further validates its divine authority, inerrancy, and inspiration. The Bible has stated the universe was brought into existence, something new, something that didn't exist before, and states frequently that the universe is in a cosmic 'stretching-out' state and makes the point that God alone is responsible for the universe expanding.

Wut?
How in the world does the model we have used for decades for cosmology, in which fusion reactions created all the heavy elements, starting from just H/He/Li, "validate[] the biblical account", just because we finally located the type of stars we knew had to be out there based on the mathematical models?
You're perfectly entitled to think that God caused the Big Bang to start, but it doesn't follow that finding physical evidence of the post-BB processes we have supposed by mathematical modeling since the days of Ed Hubble equates to Biblical accuracy.
