What is dark matter?

(What Scientists say) - Dark matter:  is composed of particles that do not absorb, reflect, or emit light, so they cannot be detected by observing electromagnetic radiation. Dark matter is material that cannot be seen directly. We know that dark matter exists because of the effect it has on objects that we can observe directly.

                                                                                      Simplified

Dark matter can be thought of as the glue that holds Stars, Galaxies and even the Universe itself together, the order we see in the night sky would not exist if it were devoid of Dark Matter, without Dark Matter the stars  and galaxies would not hold together and everything in the night sky would move randomly or chaotically.  but where did Dark Matter come from?.

                                                                            What the Bible Says

Psalms chapter 19 verses 1 and 4:-   1 The heavens are declaring the glory of God; And of the work of his hands the expanse is telling.....4 Into all the earth their measuring line has gone out, And to the extremity of the productive land their utterances. In them he has set a tent for the sun,

The Psalm shows that Jehovah keeps everything in the Universe in it's appointed place, he in effect provides the extra invisible matter to keep things stable! Also the "measuring line" mentioned here indicates the immovable imaginary line running from a star in heaven to the observer on the Earth who always knows where to look to view this star because it is always in the same place in the sky every night, this fact shows Jehovah's ability to fix stars, galaxies, constellations and other heavenly bodies in the place he has set for them!

                                              What is Dark Energy?

(What Scientists say) - Dark energy:  is the name given to the mysterious force that's causing the rate of expansion of our universe to accelerate over time, rather than to slow down. That's contrary to what one might expect from a universe that began in a Big Bang. Astronomers in the 20th century learned the universe is expanding and not contracting as would be expected after time as the force of the big bang loses it's momentum the stars  and galaxies should start to fall back toward it's centre, but this is not happening?

                                                                                    Simplified

Our Universe is still expanding outward, so something is pushing it outward, scientists do not really knows why this is happening, so the supposition is put forward that a mysterious energy force (Dark Energy) is causing this to happen?

                                                                           What the Bible Says

Isaiah chapter 40 verse 22:-   22 There is One who dwells above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers. He is stretching out the heavens like a fine gauze, And he spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

The Universe is expanding because Jehovah is controlling things with his unlimited awesome dynamic energy, he is moving stars and galaxies outward to the place he has prepared for them!

                                                What is Dark Flow?

(What Scientists say) - Dark flow:  is the term used to try and explain the unexplained motion observed in the behaviour of galaxies. Like a flock of birds veering to one side, you have to ask: what's making them go in that direction? It could be caused by some catastrophe in the early universe, setting up a motion that took billions of years to unfold.

                                                                                  Simplified

Some Galaxies at the outer edge of our Universe appear to be moving in a different direction to the fixed movement forward of the rest of the Universe, what is causing this deviation is a complete mystery to science?

                                                                         What the Bible Says

Job chapter 38 verses 31 to 33:-   31 Can you tie the ropes of the Kimah constellation or untie the cords of the Kesil constellation? 32 Can you lead out a constellation in its season or guide the Ash constellation along with its sons? 33 Do you know the laws governing the heavens?

Job was taught that only Jehovah can effectively move Galaxies around to the place he wants them to be, man knows almost nothing of Gods awesome power and purpose!

                Blind Science or Almighty God, you decide which is right?
