Christians believe God made everything as described in the Bible... secularists laugh and point to Darwin and science...so lets read NASA. by Mark Vogl

You are really gonna love this.
If you are a Christian, if you believe in the Bible, if you believe God created all that is, than you know the sarcasm, criticism and laughter of human secularists who point to science, the dinosaurs and talk about evolution.
You have been shamed. Science has been lifted in school, God has been shut out!
So, what do the scientists say when the biggest question ever can't be answered through science...?
Well on the NASA Astro Physics website I found the following explanation foran issue which arose after the Hubble telescope came into operation and the "facts" of science were proved wrong.
Science predicted that the expansion of the universe should be slowing because of gravity. But when the Hubble went up...well shazaam...it was not slowing...but instead accelerating. What? How?
Here's the NASA statement which tells how scientists constructed an answer:
" More is unknown than is known. We know how much dark energy there is because we know how it affects the Universe's expansion. Other than that, it is a complete mystery. But it is an important mystery. It turns out that roughly 70% of the Universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 25%. The rest - everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter - adds up to less than 5% of the Universe. Come to think of it, maybe it shouldn't be called "normal" matter at all, since it is such a small fraction of the Universe."
Now, I ask that you go and read this information it is very interesting.
But before you do, let me just plant a seed.
Scientists say 95% of everything that exists we can't see, or measure or know. Doesn't that sound like God? Well, I mean God is actually something, but He is huge, omnimpotent, all powerful.
You see I am laughing now. I really am. I can't help it. My whole life I have been a believer in the Bible. I have listened to many many others question my sanity, question my intelligence, expressed sympathy for my condition. They walked away shaking their heads and feeling sorry for my irrational thoughts. Poor niave kid, now man.
In our public schools God has been banned. Sorry, but you can't include God in a discussion of science, or biology, or life, or even morality and ethics. I took a graduate degree course in Education and the professor taught about the sources of eithics in the classroom...God and the Bible were nowhere to be seen. Right and wrong were created from a number of theories, documents, books, whatever...with absolutely no reference to God.
You see you can't prove God exists. The stories in the Bible...well good fiction. And besides the Da Vinci Code tells us that the church hid many gospels...etc,
So God, yes God the Creator mentioned in the Declaration of Independence, the God which granted us inalienable rights, well sorry but you are not allowed in the classroom. The Declaration that said life was an inalienable right...tell that to the 50,000,000 Americans killed on the abortion table since Roe v. Wade.
And instead...they replace God with dark matter dark energy...I love it.

Mark, the trouble is are they mutually exclusive of each other? Science and god? If I sit down and write a computer program I have created an entity that functions using science. Science is one of the wonders of creation, a set of rule tools in a manner. The problem is each side defends the breed, if God only, by human nature, chaos. If science only, nothing but engineers, sorry, couldn't resist.
A friend was telling me years ago about the experience of being in Tehran traffic. When approaching a light the natives would plunge through a red light, survival being the will of allah. No regard what-so-ever for the law of conservation of energy.
Self interest and irresponsibility are the name of the game and of course hedging.
The sum total of what man knows is exceeded only by his ego.

Bentree,
Thank you for your response. I don't see the two as unconnected, Quite to the contrary, God created everything...and science is one of man's endeavors to attempt to unravel some of the secrets of God.
Just as man invents tools, either to make work easier, or just to flat out do the work...so God made tools, gravity, light, etc. If His goal was to make man, (not saying it was, saying if), He had to create a stable environment for man to be in...thus the creation of the universe, world, garden, etc.
What gets me is that if I talk about God..I am chastised for lack of proof. But when scientists cant connect the dots...they make up dark matter and energy and that's defendable... LOL...I think its very funny and hope God has a sense of humor...

A fundamental part of science is that we do not know everything but we are trying to find out more. Some theories may appear to be weak, but they are constantly being put to the test and weeded out for better theories.
This kind of rigorous analysis is something that religion would not last and the position of science in todays world is something religion would not want to get itself into.
The scientific theories such as dark matter may appear to be ripoffs from religion but if tomorrow the theory is proven wrong, scientists may be able to accept that but religious people may not.

"This kind of rigorous analysis is something that religion would not last and the position of science in todays world is something religion would not want to get itself into."
You almost have to cry for the person who made the statement above. The reality of God is tested every day in billions of laboratories across the planet.
Science attempts to explain why things are or happen. But in the end, science has never even attempted to answer why the big bang happened? Because there is no science there. Science has failed man and will fail man always. God is there always and can't fail man. He doesn't promise heaven on earth. He doesn't promise all good news here on earth. He doesn't promise miracles daily, though they occur about that frequently.
I am not against science, I love it. I love it for its humanity, for its desire to find out why... where I abhor some scientists is when they believe science and God are separate...to me, science is a feeble attempt to see a part of God.
God's natural laws are constant, I wish man's were as well. If God had created a universe where the natural laws were as unstable as man's, there could be no earth, no people, no life at all.
