Well, logically, if the scriptures are right and “in Him we live and move and have our very being” and “He is the Alpha and the Omega”, then any sort of “carbon dating” will show basically - infinity of all matter since everything is a part of Him or created by Him using ancient matter to create things with. (We never gonna figger it out just right cause there are things above our finite minds.)

Just wait. 5 trillion years. You'll see.Exactly...
...the theory is poised to make predictions we can actually test.
Instead of a universe that emerged from a point of infinite density, we will have one that recycles, possibly through an eternal series of expansions and contractions, with no beginning and no end.
No doubt measurable too.
Sheesh, what a farce!

Old, old, old news. This was being discussed over 25 years ago in an astronomy class I took.

Cosmologists are still very much in the dark about dark energy.
Dark energy: a matter dark, indeed.
To: Kirkwood
It goes back even further. I first heard about it in the 60s. At the time, a philosopher friend told me that Nietzsche had come up with the idea, but it turns out it goes back much further than that even:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_return. The difference, of course, is that Ashtekar, Bojowald, et al. have taken the physics further than anyone ever has.
