Does Dark Energy Really Exist?

Or does Earth occupy a very unusual place in the universe?

Scientific American, March 2009

By Timothy Clifton and Pedro G. Ferreira

...

Most of us are very familiar with the idea that our planet is nothing more than a tiny speck orbiting a typical star, somewhere near the edge of an otherwise unnoteworthy galaxy. In the midst of a universe populated by billions of galaxies that stretch out to our cosmic horizon, we are led to believe that there is nothing special or unique about our location. But what is the evidence for this cosmic humility? And how would we be able to tell if we were in a special place? Astronomers typically gloss over these questions, assuming our own typicality sufficiently obvious to warrant no further discussion. To entertain the notion that we may, in fact, have a special location in the universe is, for many, unthinkable. Nevertheless, that is exactly what some small groups of physicists around the world have recently been considering...

Just like the Evos have been forced to cut down Darwin's "tree of life" and declare that "Darwin Was Wrong"...

...the same thing is happening in the field of Evo-Cosmology. Needless to say, God-honoring creation scientists have been predicting this outcome on both fronts for some time now. For God's creation, which is sustained by His holy Word, resists evo-materialist explanations. As such, sooner or later, their vain man-centered descriptions of His wondrous creation will be forced to bow to His WORD:

Isaiah 55:8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts. 10 “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; 11 So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

The Scientific American article above is of course just the beginning. As can be readily seen from the article, the evo-cosmologists are still committed to finding ways to paper-over the special home that God has created for us. But rest assured, the more they find out about our cosmic neigborhood, the more they will be forced to declare that we do indeed live in a very, very special place. It doesn't matter where the natural mind turns, in the end every aspect of creation sings HIS praises, so that when that final day comes, even those who specialize in cosmology will be without excuse:

"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse."--Romans 1:20

If you are interested in finding a God-honoring cosmology, you might want to start here.

“Or does Earth occupy a very unusual place in the universe?”

Yes, Earth does occupy a very special place in the universe. If you’re curious, there is a DVD called, “The Priviledged Planet”

According to this DVD, Earth’s placement is unique and just a few degrees here or there, and we would look like Mars instead. It’s jaw-dropping to watch this video and realize how blessed we are.

I have always believed that God made planet Earth on purpose for humans to live, and it’s placement in the universe was no accident.

Evolution happens. Every educated, conservative Freeper knows that. Mr. Darwin was correct.

I have own and have the book. Dr. Gonzalez was denied tenure for daring to think what the Evos have deemed “unthinkable”! Makes the blood boil...

Apparently you missed #2:

Even the Evos are abandoning the HMS Beagle.

But remember, atheists got the way they are because they have a kind of intelligence that elevates them above a whole lot of really dumb people.

Atheists are so smart they don’t even need to use their brains.

Of course dark matter exists, even though we can’t detect it in any way, we know it exists because if it doesn’t then that means that the scientists are wrong and we know that never happens.

With faith, no reach is too far.

There you go again, quoting real scientists.
