I have recently stumbled upon the answer to this ” dark matter” that everyone seems to not understand. Until recently, I was unaware that anyone thought of this matter as “missing.” Then I realized how easily missunderstood this concept could be. I do not work in the science field and am unaware of how someone should go about giving very important explanations like this to scientists, or who ever I should be giving it to. yes, its true, I can definitly explain “dark matter.” Unfortunatly, I will not explain it to anyone until im sure im speaking to the right person. I believe I will win the nobel prize for this explanation, so I need to make sure no one else Is getting credit for my intelligence, if you know what I mean. Please take this very seriously. I am positive my explanation is correct, I would bet my life on it 100 times. For the sake of modern science, if any one can help me, please do, you will not regret it. Thank you.

If you dont want to talk about dark matter then why are you on this page? You are obviously lost, in more ways than one. Anyways, does anyone know who I should contact if I happen to have discovered what this “dark matter” really is?

@ 7. alizie and the US public in general:

Former Catholic here.

‘Christians’ encompasses Orthodox, Anglicans, various Protestants, Roman Catholics, and then all the crazy fundamentalists and Bible-literalists you have in the US.

I guess that many of these self-proclaimed ‘Christians’ I hear about pertain to the latter category. And also, that many Atheists refer to fundamentalists when they talk about ‘Christians’.

Look, guys. I was a Catholic in a Catholic country. But in 99.9% of our schools Evolution is taught. And people accept that Evolution and the Big Bang are compatible with their Catholic faith. Hell! The Catholic Church officially accepts both!

The more I learn about US culture, the more I think that it’s a highly polarized culture where only 2 options are seen as possible for many (all?) aspects of life. And to top it off, you guys seem to be very vocal about whatever convictions you have, even when you lack the basic understanding of your belief of choice. Therefore, we have huge clashes of Republicans Vs. Democrats; Wild Capitalism Vs Moderate Capitalism (that’s ‘Socialism’ /’Obamunism’ for you); Fundamentalist Christians Vs. Contemptuous Atheists; America Vs. the rest of the world.

Christians can study science alongside with athiests, or whatever other religion you may be. The fact is, we all have our theories and opinions. And, in reality, science itself could (I’m not saying it should) be argued to be a religion by definition: a group of people believing in something that cannot necessarily be proven. As John said above, science is based on theory. However, a theory is only a theory. Who is to say it won’t be disproven tomorrow? You must have faith to believe a theory is fact.

So that whole bit is somewhat unrelated. Simply, don’t knock Christians, or any religion for that matter for looking at a problem in a different way. Your ideas may seem “more intelligent” to you, and to the other person, vise-versa. Opinions and intelligent debates are key to progress.

With that said, onto something a little more fun than arguing…

Personally, I find the black matter business intensely intriguing. Invisible matter that may make up even more cosmic bodies than the multitudes we can see? Almost sounds like something out of a good science-fiction novel. The idea of a space full of many times the number of objects we can see is slightly unnerving, however, but that may just be me.

Cheers, Art. Science is based testing facts. Religion is based on feelings and believing what you’re told. You can’t figure godhood into an equation.

“Logically explaining something that is not affected or apply logic is insane, this is where God fits in. God is the LOGICAL explanation for the things that cannot be explained by mere logic.”

You’re blinded by your faith. Logic is is the study of the principles and criteria of valid inference and demonstration. God cannot be demonstrated; there are no valid inferences for god; god is supernatural, untouchable, and unknowable by epistemological standards. If you doubt this, study. Your ideas are baseless and ignore classical studies of knowledge and thinking, hence your writing is foolish. (Begin your studies with epistemology) You may obviously believe anything you wish, but don’t think of it as “logical”. It is as far removed from logic as bigfoot.

All science is based on theory and all religion is based on faith. If you have faith to believe in science than logically you should have faith to believe in religion. After all, religion came first and is believe by 95% of the worlds population. Mixing science and religion is common practice. I believe in God, I despise religion, and I believe scientists have done their best to logically explain the world. The problem is, the world is not logical and neither are humans. Logically explaining something that is not affected or apply logic is insane, this is where God fits in. God is the LOGICAL explanation for the things that cannot be explained by mere logic. Try not to get lost in that twist of words. Basically what I am saying is that without God the universe cannot be explained. Scientists will try but to no avail because not everything is logical. For instance, where did matter come from? If the universe was created by a big explosion, what caused the explosion? This is a question you will never have answered by mere science because there is only one answer, God. Seeing how God does not fit into what scientists believe, it will be an answer that will go without explanation until your eyes are revealed to the truth.

God said that he would send his only begotten Son and whomever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3-16

Fact- Jesus Christ existed.
Faith, you can believe what he said or not believe what he said, your choice.
