• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Perhaps a bit of both - so far all the modified theories of gravity intended to explain the 'dark matter' observations fall short and require something else in addition, i.e. dark matter!

I heard a suggestion that the 'dark energy' observations might be explained by a gravity that becomes repulsive at cosmological distances, but the consensus seemed to be that it couldn't be made to work.

The terms Dark Matter and Dark Energy are simply terms meaning that they don't know exactly what these things are but can only observe their effects and conjecture about what they might be. The conclusion that they exist is based on the simple, common principle of cause and effect.

The following article enumerates the various conjectures:

God-energy also has that same effect:

"I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens...My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts." -- (Isa 44:24, 45:12).

That is where selective blindness and the inconsistency in their policy glaringly comes in.
