Luke 10:27 (Love God Above All, And Your Neighbor as yourself) And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 7:12 (Do unto others)
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Matthew 5:43-48 (Pray for those that persecute you)
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Luke 6:27-29 (Love your enemies.)
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books.
Isaiah 8:12-13 (NIV) "Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread."

Real physics question coming up with a little background...3,2,1...
The 'whys' are somewhat important for me to actually achieve understanding. This would be one major reason that quantum physics holds such a problem for me. I can't grasp the whys that underlie it. I can feel it right beyond my grasp, I think I can almost grab hold of it and then it eludes me.
Now on to specifics. The infamous double slit experiment. I don't get how light can act as a particle if we are watching and a wave if we are not. Any help?

If a massive object comes in at the speed of light and smacks the moon that's right above me, which happens first: We see the moon dissappear, or the tide starts to go out?
ie: Does the effects of gravity influence instantaneously, at the speed of light, or slower.

Dark matter is technically "missing mass" or "mass we cannot account for" based on current theory. Of course current theory is based upon all sorts of assumptions which are now being undermined. When I went to college the term really just referred to mass we could not identify yet with our relative primitive technology. MACHO forms of "dark matter" there thought to compose a lot of the missing mass at that point in time.
Over the past couple of decades however, that has all changed. They now talk about "baryonic matter"(protons, neutrons) and "non baryonic matter" that typically is equated with SUSY related dark matter theories/hypothesis. It should be noted that SUSY theory however is a "non standard" brand of particle physics theory. In standard particle physics theory, we're only missing a single particle that has yet to be detected, the Higg's boson. In SUSY theory, there are presumably other, as of yet unseen types of matter. The LHC program, and the energy states at which it will operate, could in fact test both the standard Higg's particle theory and SUSY theory as well. To date there are no confirmed reports of any actual SUSY particles, nor have any of the presumed necessary properties of dark matter (like longevity) been confirmed to come from any SUSY particle.
Modern Lambda-CMD theory is based upon the existence of "cold dark matter", most of which is presumed to be 'non baryonic" (SUSY particle) in nature. Note that a neutrino is actually a form of "non baryonic dark matter", but we know where that comes from and it's existence has been verified in the conventional empirical manner. That is not true of SUSY theory, at least not yet.
