: This is a perfect example of what I'm saying. The assumption : is made before hand. It is assumed that it is dark matter and : then it is said, "Look, the dark matter was not slowed by the : impact!". No, that's a distortion of what was said. What was said was that there's hot, luminous gas, which is observed to be slowed down by the impact, and there's lots of mass that *isn't* luminous, and which *wasn't* slowed down by the impact. If you don't want to call the part that wasn't slowed down and doesn't emit light "dark matter", that says more about your blinders than about the evidence itself.

:: I'm sorry, but that is not a truthful claim. Gases are not proof of :: dark matter. : Gases ARE dark matter if they aren't luminous. Plus, it seems likely Waffle is confusing "gas" (the stuff that's been heated and deflected by the impact, is emitting light, and colorcoded pink) with the topic of the page (the stuff that hasn't been heated, hasn't been deflected, isn't emitting light, and colorcoded blue). But whether it's gas, or something else, whatever you call it, it is 1) dark (because it isn't emitting light), and 2) matter (because it has mass, distorting the light of objects behind it) You don't want to call this "evidence for dark matter", shrug. You can lead folks to knowledge, but you cannot make them think. Gordon, Waffle, and Mr Blik When the old lady died she left them rich A mansion, cars, life's a kick!

Physicists are having trouble with the observation and the theory of neutrinos. In the same way, dark matter was also a deduction from some observations in astronomy. Thye had to postulate the existence of dark matter to explain certain effects observed. If they have already found or not, any evidence of dark matter, this something irrelevant for the moment. They will find it in the future if they can, or perhaps they never would do. This is science. Not all are observations, but there are alos some asumptions and some deductions. But scientist are men, and men are fallible. Not like the writers of the Holy Books, if they were fallible, they would have corrected already the thousands of serious mistakes that are written in their holy books. But a writer inspired by the gods, can not commit errors, so they are not going to change a comma or erase any error whatever. By example, the geneology of Jesus, that is totally fake. We know it is fake, because there are two of them. But are they going to accept this is something wrong? No! They are infallible, like the Pope of Rome. They seem to me a bunch a cretins. Leopoldo |

Gases are not proof of dark matter. And that which you are forced to confess cannot be detected, cannot be proved by gases. If gases are not proof, what would be the proof that could persuade you? Could it be the Bible? The Bible is amazing and awesome book - no matter what new things godless secular liberal scientists discover, bible-believing scientists show that these things were already described in the Bible. Here, one Biblical scientist shows from clear biblical evidence that dark matter is real. Could it be enough for you? http://www.theswordbearer.org/spD002_Flood.html THE FIRMAMENT Let's take a brief look at "dark matter" in order to see how a Bible believer might use discernment when he reads the daily newspaper. The Big Bang theory so popular with scientists says a ball of matter exploded, driving the matter outward. But the outward-traveling bits of matter did not continue to expand and get farther away from each other. Some of them got close enough so gravitational attraction could pull them into swirling galaxies. All stars are in galaxies. The galaxies are far away from each other. So far, in fact, that all the stars it is possible for us to see at night are in our own Milky Way Galaxy. In between galaxies science always thought there was nothing - no stars, "no nothing;" just the void and vacuum of outer space. But that didn't sit well with scientists because if the Big Bang did happen, all of the outward-traveling matter would not have collected into galaxies with nothing in between. In fact, it is stretching it to say that even 10% of the matter would have randomly collected into galaxies. That leaves 90% of the matter in the universe missing out there somewhere. And that makes the theory look pretty weak. But along comes the C.O.B.E. Project, which you probably read in the news provided "confirming evidence" of the Big Bang theory. In essence, they aimed sensitive radiation-detecting equipment out in space between galaxies in an effort to see if anything is really there in the void. (In other words, looking for the missing 90% of the Big Bang theory.) They used radiation-detecting equipment because all matter emits radiation - heat radiation, since nothing exists at a temperature of absolute zero. And out in the "void" or "vacuum" of space between galaxies they got on their recording charts a faint wavy line. (A flat line would mean nothing was there.) So the big news, they say, is that the missing 90% of the universe has been found. Since they cannot see the matter they call it dark matter. And that dark matter is believed to validate the Big Bang theory. And from their Reasonable scientific perspective you and I can see how they'd think they are on the right track. And their error doesn't bother us at all; they can bark at the moon all they want. But you and I have an advantage over scientists because you and I are not prohibited by the rules of philosophy from letting the Bible guide our thoughts. Think of a fish bowl or a birdcage, for example: Everything in it - fish or birds - has detectable radiation. And even if we can't see the water or the air they still emit radiation because there is something there. So we don't say that the space between the fish and birds is a void or vacuum, because that space is not nothing; it is something. And we don't call that radiation-emitting-but-invisible stuff dark matter, because we've already called it air and water. OK, what's the point? The point is you and I knew all of this stuff about the universe long before the Big Bang theory and the C.O.B.E. Project: God made the fish and the birds. So they really exist - they aren't nothing, a void, or a vacuum. And God made the water and the air. So they also really exist. Why do they exist? Because God created them. What did God do with the birds and the fish? He put them in the invisible air and water. God also made the sun, the moon, and the stars. So they really exist - they aren't nothing, a void, or a vacuum. And God made the firmament. So it also really exists. Why does it exist? Because God created it. What did God do with the sun, moon, and stars? He put them in the invisible firmament (Ge 1:17). So all these years while scientists have been barking at the moon and telling us the sun, moon, and stars were in nothing, a vacuum, a void, you and I just rolled our eyes and thought, "Will they ever learn?" And when the C.O.B.E. Project "discovered" that the sun, moon, and, stars really are in something after all, you and I just rolled our eyes in disgust because they called it dark matter instead of the firmament, and because they thought it validated the Big Bang instead of the Bible. |

: Len Lekx
: But that's not an argument for the presence of Dark Matter. Any : more than "you observe an object falling faster than you expect it to" : is an argument for higher mass than measured... maybe our current : theory of gravity is incomplete. : : Admittedly, I'm not very close to the problem - I'm not up on the : current information. I'm here because I want to know more... Last I heard, all proposed "altered rules for gravity" run aground on the little problem that they predict different orbits than the ones we actually see for nearby objects, such as planets and the such. Sometimes the deviation is small, but again, last I heard, there weren't any contenders other than "there's something massive there". This is especially true of the latest gravitational lensing discovery. "There's no dark matter" was hanging on by a thread before. With this latest, the thread has snapped and it's hovering over the chasm like a Warner Brother's cartoon character who hasn't yet realized he's walked over the cliff. So to type. Not that the various theories about precisely what dark matter is are having an easy time of it. It's a tough problem. But pretending there's "no evidence" as others have is a non-starter.
