Faith Science - Dark Matter, Dark Energy and The Spirit Realm

From Physics.About.Com

"Dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy that permeates space and exerts a negative pressure, which would have gravitational effects to account for the differences between the theoretical and observational results of gravitational effects on visible matter. Dark energy is not directly observed, but rather inferred from observations of gravitational interactions between astronomical objects, along with dark matter.

Dark matter is a hypothesized form of matter particle that does not reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation. The existence of dark matter is inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter, such as stars and galaxies.

A small percentage of the gravitational effects observed are from visible matter (some estimates are as low as 4% of total gravitational effects). The remaining 96% is presumed to result from dark matter or dark energy, though these terms are somewhat indicative of our ignorance of the exact nature of these unknown quantities, as they have never been directly observed."

On November 11, 2009, the headline on CNN.com said, “Huge $10 billion collider resumes hunt for God particle.” That article, written by CNN reporter Elizabeth Landau, pushed atomic and molecular physics to the forefront of popular culture for at least one day. The story highlights read as follows: “The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will circulate a beam around the tunnel within two weeks. CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) scientists say an electrical failure caused a major shut-down of the collider in September 2008. The full scientific program for the LHC will probably last more than 20 years. The LHC will look for the Higgs boson, quarks, gluons and other small particles.”

Antoine Lavoisier is commonly referred to as the father of modern chemistry. In 1789, he formulated the law of conservation of mass, which in simple terms states that matter is neither created nor destroyed. This is an approximate physical law that loses its credibility in terms of mass conservation when physical matter changes to a form without measurable mass.

Albert Einstein, the most famous theoretical physicist in history, disproved the conclusions drawn by Lavoisier and took the concept a step further. His discovery of special relativity and the related equation of mass-energy equivalence, E=mc2, showed a relationship between mass and energy. This allows for mass to practically disappear during a chemical reaction and be changed into mass-less energy.

Withal, this still proved that if energy is considered a type of matter, the simple interpretation of Lavoisier’s conclusions still applies. Hence, even though mass in its traditional sense is not always conserved, matter, whether or not it has physically measurable mass, always is. Therefore, while things that exist can change form, science has proven that everything in existence has always been in existence and will always be in existence.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Hebrews 11:1–3 kjv

Let’s consider faith in the context of the basic scientific principles presented by Lavoisier and Einstein. Faith is “the substance of things hoped for.” Hence, even though faith is a mass-less substance, it is as real as any other substance that has traditional mass. As I said earlier, if the Higgs Boson theoretically gives particles mass, every particle is essentially mass-less. According to Hebrews 11:1, the presence of faith is evidence of things that are not seen. Therefore, our ability to see something with our physical eyes does not make it any more real than it inherently is.

We can also see plainly in Hebrews 11:3 that God used invisible things to create things which are visible. Consequently, even though many Christians assume when reading Genesis 1:1 that God made the heavens and earth out of nothing, the truth according to Hebrews 11:3 is that he didn’t. Traditionally, many considered what was invisible and mass-less as nothing, so they completely underestimated the value of spiritual materials which are the building blocks of the spirit realm. So it’s hard for many to understand that there can be angels or demons in a room without us being aware of them. Now we’ll discover the truth.

Ex nihilo nihil fit–Latin, “Out of nothing, comes nothing” a phrase originated by the Scholastics in claiming that the universe needs God as its cause because something cannot be created out of nothing.

Since matter is neither created nor destroyed but changes form, God used spiritual matter as the building blocks for all physical matter. Can you see a connection between Dark Energy and the spirit realm? I think so.

Did scientists lie about Mammoths and Ice Age Beasts?

Here's an excerpt from "Cloning the woolly mammoth: A worrying precedent?" published on January 20, 2011, at 7:30 AM in The Week.
( http://theweek.com/article/index/211207/cloning-the-woolly-mammoth-a-worrying-precedent )

The woolly mammoth, an 8-ton, 13-foot-tall behemoth that is an icon of the last ice age, has been extinct for about 10,000 years. But Akira Iritani, a professor at Japan's Kyoto University, is confident that he can re-create a fully functioning replica by 2016. Using an innovative frozen-cloning technique, Iritani's plan sounds straight out of the movies: implanting a mammoth's cells into an elephant, in the hopes that the elephant will give birth to a baby woolly mammoth in four to six years. Is this realistic or science fiction?

Some say, "How could one be a true scientist and believe in God?" I say, "How could one be a true scientist and NOT believe in God?"

Where do the Ice Ages fit into The Bible?

Here's a sample from Faith Science;

On Monday, July 20, 2009, Yahoo News published an article written by Jeanna Bryner entitled, “Comets Killed Ice Age Beasts.” According to the article, the discovery of lonsdaleite nanodiamonds just off the coast of southern California closed the deal. It provided the strongest evidence to date of the catastrophic event long suspected as the cause of extinction of large ice-age animals and the Stone Age group known as Clovis people. Until then, those hexagonal diamonds had only been found in meteorites and impact craters. This was due to the high temperatures and pressures necessary for their formation.

Evidence of arctic life discovered in temperate or tropical areas has caused scientists to point to Ice Ages. Large surfaces of the earth were covered with ice sheets (large continental glaciers) during those time periods. An exhibit on the Ice Ages from the Illinois State Museum shows some interesting facts. On their Web site is the quote, “If a type of animal lives in a certain type of climate now, we may infer that its ancestors lived in that type of climate, too.”

Ice Ages occurred due to changing continental positions, uplift of continental blocks, reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere, and changes in the earth’s orbit during four approximate time intervals:

• Late Proterozoic (800 to 600 million years ago),

• Ordovician and Silurian (460 to 430 million years ago)

• Pennsylvanian and Permian (350 to 250 million years

ago)

• Neogene to Quaternary (4 million years ago to present)

As evidenced by the Ice Ages, the general consensus in the international scientific community is that the earth is billions of years old. Theoretically, it makes sense due to the clearly defined strata of the earth and the presence of fossils at varying depths. Experimentally, it makes sense based on carbon dating methods. Fossils used to reconstruct prehistoric animals like mammoths and dinosaurs support this theory. The discovery of human-like bones in the earth’s strata is evidence of the existence of prehistoric man. In addition, the scientific evidence used to support the past occurrence of the Ice Ages is relatively strong.

Atheists are Fools

Psalm 14:1 (KJV) - The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Atheists are fools and should be treated as such!

Here is an excerpt from Faith Science;


Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1627): Pioneer of the
Scientific Method

The Scripture saith, The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God; it is not said, The fool hath thought in his heart; so as he rather saith it, by rote to himself, as that he would have, than that he can thoroughly believe it, or be persuaded of it. For none deny, there is a God, but those, for whom it maketh that there were no God. It appeareth in nothing more, that atheism is rather in the lip, than in the heart of man, than by
this; that atheists will ever be talking of that their opinion, as if they fainted in it, within themselves, and would be glad to be strengthened, by the consent of others.

—Francis Bacon, Of Atheism (Essays of Francis Bacon)

The scientific method defines science as we know it. So I can’t think of anyone who qualifies more to accept the title of an accomplished scientist than the man who proposed its definition in the first place. Bacon clearly despised atheism and did not hold anything back in his essay Of Atheism. I specifically chose this quote because he demonstrated his use of the Bible in approaching the concept of atheism.

He quoted from Psalm 14:1 and expounded on the scripture just like a preacher. In essence, he said that atheists can’t really believe what they say about God. People who claim there is no God know the truth in their hearts. They have no excuse, like Paul said in Romans 1:18–23. They just talk off their heads and feel better about their position if they could get some support from others.

Romans 1:18-23(NLT) - But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.

Everyone knows there's a God including the atheists. Living in denial doesn't change the truth. People deny God's existence by choice. They might not like Him. They might not know Him. They might not understand Him. However, they know He exists. Do you?
