You ever hear from someone that humans shouldn't be so convinced they are that important in the vast sphere of the universe, that we shouldn't be earth-centric?
It turns out, according to researchers from the
Institute for Computational Cosmology at Durham University and the
Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, that
the galaxies orbiting our own Milky Way galaxy are some of the oldest galaxies in the entire universe.
The researchers theorize that Segue-1, Bootes I, Tucana II and Ursa Major were some of the
initial galaxies ever formed, roughly 13 billion years old.

The research group's findings suggest that galaxies including Segue-1, Bootes I, Tucana II and Ursa Major I are in fact some of the first galaxies ever formed, thought to be over 13 billion years old.
When the Universe was about 380,000 years old, the very first atoms formed. These were hydrogen atoms, the simplest element in the periodic table. These atoms collected into clouds and began to cool gradually and settle into the small clumps or "halos" of dark matter that emerged from the Big Bang.
This cooling phase, known as the "Cosmic dark ages", lasted about 100 million years. Eventually, the gas that had cooled inside the halos became unstable and began to form stars—these objects are the very first galaxies ever to have formed.
With the formation of the first galaxies, the Universe burst into light, bringing the cosmic dark ages to an end....

Genesis 1:1-4
(1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
(2) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
(3) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
(4) And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
