Pluto, small, far – very old?

So small, so far -
must be old, cold,
dead, they said.
The New Horizon
spacecraft at last
got there, took photos.
To their surprise they
found signs of recent
geological activity
and remaining internal heat
(too far to gain heat from the sun;
too small to gain heat radioactively,
or from tidal interaction with its moon).
So it can't be 4.5 billion years old!
The James Webb Space Telescope
now looks far into the distance.
seeing things they considered early
productions of a big bang.
Why is there a carbon cloud so far, so ‘early’?
and other heavy elements –
inconsistent with their theories of
Big Bang consequences?
And also the soft tissues now
being found in so many fossils
shows a much younger timescale
for our earth and universe,
– no time for evolution
of goo to you by
damaging chance mutations!
Design, skill supernatural!
