Baloney.

Just because there are less stars then they think does not mean Black Matter.

What it means is they do not have any good algorithms for what is going on and they ones they do have stink.

Just like climate change, they have to change the algorithms every year for unaccounted information.

I agree.

The Universe must be full of “dark matter”.

We are still so primitive.

Right on.

Maybe all that dark matter is God. Because you can’t see God.....you can only see the effects that prove He is there. Like they can know dark matter is there - they see the effects.

Only God doesn’t have mass; Jesus said God is spirit; John said twice, “No man has seen God at any time.”

But Jesus also said, “He that has seen me, has seen the Father...”

And John 1, Colossians 1 and Hebrews 1 all tell us that Jesus is the full expression of the Father.........

Good one, gigster.

The "scientists" who postulate these wild conjectures with such conviction are forgetting about the huge void between their ears.

Lol!

Maybe they want to be known as Galaxies of Color?

Well as long as they burn down their own galactic superclusters...

The embarrassed astronomers quickly withdrew their claim when they realized they had merely forgotten to remove the lens cap from their telescope.

A few days ago there was an article about how the the laws of physics vary according to their position in the universe. It seems that the earth not only conforms to 100’s of “goldilocks” parameters, but also to another dimension of goldilocks parameter! Go read Genesis you agnostic scientists and astronomers and get some respect for your Creator. Sagan is now getting a suntan!

I would suggest reading “the 4% Universe” to get a better understanding of the Dark Matter Theory.

Doesn’t mean that it’s true, just, it’s a very well thought out theory.

When it comes to Dark Matter, it’s hard to argue with Vera Rubin.

Of course, the new “Fifth Force” theory may throw all of this out with the bathwater.

I have a friend who operates the KECK telescopes. Last July, my wife and I were lucky enough to get a personal tour of KECK1 and watch the laser guide in operation. Awesome doesn’t describe the experience.

Moses asked to see god and got turned down. Exodus 33:17And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”

18Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.”

19And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 20But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”

21Then the Lord said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. 22When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 23Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”
