This is a very interesting thread. I hope there would be more and more scientific advancement in this world until the religions eventually disappear.

No problemo for creationistas. They just rewrite the story to cover the discoveries under the heading of their god's omnipotence and why such discoveries are time-released to them. IOW, their god creating evolution is waiting for its timely release. Until then, best to while the time away creatively writing into Creation the theist version of it.

Science was/is also the work of their god, or hasn't anyone here gotten the memo?

There are several hypothesis about dark matter and dark energy.
The funny thing about them is that they cannot be detected, measured or seen, just like god.

The truth is that it is a name that was placed on it by people that did not know what the fuck to do with the not matching results from the formulas with reality.

When you get wrong results by a huge amount instead of going back to formula, take the missing energy and give it a name to add it to the formula as a constant.

That is not what I call science but science as we go.

Dark matter and dark energy has as much evidence of their existence as god has.

Those effects seen from the Hubble could be anything including magnetic field effects, it might olso be something we are missing in the formulas.

One thing missing in Einstein relativity equations is the power of spin.
Currently they think that the sun spins on its own, that the earth spins on it's own.
Well if you are missing the energy to spin a planet in the formulas then it might be the reason why the formulas are missing 70% of the energy of the universe.

So instead of calling that missing energy Dark energy/dark matter, why not check what we are missing in the formulas?

The question is, what is spinning?
There are some bright people that came up with hypothesis on this subject but they are considered crazy just like Einstein and Tesla were in their time.

People resist change by nature.

"[5] A favoured theory is that dark matter might be constituted of "supersymmetric" particles. Supersymmetry is a theory in which all particles in our Standard Model — electrons, protons, neutrons, and so on — have a more massive "supersymmetric" partner. While there has been no experimental confirmation for supersymmetry as yet, the theory would solve a few of the gaps in our current thinking. One of supersymmetry's proposed particles would be stable, electrically neutral, and only interact weakly with the common particles of the Standard Model — all the properties required to explain dark matter."

" the theory would solve a few of the gaps in our current thinking."

LOL "a few gaps", how ironic, 70% missing energy is called "a few gaps", but yea, at least he acknowledges the problem, even though he cushions it.
