There is clear evidence of the existence of dark matter.

Can't say the same for Elohim.

The more scientific facts are established the further from the truth Mormonism appears to be.

Yes. But it is the form of grant terminations or shunning from their scientific communities.

jskains wrote:So Science, which I claim is starting to show it's own authoritarian/religious properties is claiming now the Universe came from nothing because of negative and positive energy that can pop in and out of existence, and that our entire universe might just be well organized nothing. That Gravity is the negative energy and that supposedly enough positive energy came into existence and started the entire universe via a big bang.

But when pushed, they claim "nothingness" is ambiguous, so there really is no such thing as nothingness, as there are quantum fluctuations that pop in and out of existence (magically), but then, so, if, then well..

And then there is the theory we started out as a 1D line.

IMHO Science is grasping for straws to try to explain a universe without God that they are coming up with ideas no sillier than what religion came up with.

*Shrug*

What does "grasping at straws" mean to you, Squeak?

Scientists with money. Not all scientists are poor. And often scientists are on grant advisory boards.

You have unveiled a vast scientific conspiracy, Squeek! Call the National Research Council!

See Scratch? Intellectual discussion is impossible here.

This place remains childish and immature.

I agree that intellectual discussion is difficult with you, but that's not the same as it being difficult here per se...

Why do scientists have a record of more accurate Prophesies than Mormon Prophets?
