    You don't have to be outside the "boundaries" of the Universe (hint: it has no boundaries) to detect dark matter. It has been demonstrated that light is bent by gravity. The effect of this bending, caused by dark matter, can be detected from right here on earth (or low earth orbit).

    This was a fascinating interview from a couple of nights ago if anyone wants to listen to it. Covered many of the same things you freaks have been talking about.
    I downloaded it (illegally, lol) via bit torrent and it was a great listen. It's 3 15meg .MP3 files if anyone wants to listen to it and your email can handle 15meg attachments.

    I'm not necessarily saying it does, but I don't know how you can possibly know that for a fact.

    And yet there will never be a point where this is an unproven hypothesis. If dark matter did indeed explain the gaps observed in the universe, that would really do nothing to eliminate the need for a Creator.

    What question? I did answer it. Do you want more scripture? LMAO! What are you trying to prove? That God didn't say homosexuality was a sin?

    Leviticus 18:22, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."

    Deuteronomy 23:17, "There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel."

    Leviticus 20:13, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

    1 Kings 14:24, "And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel." <-- I hope you know what a sodomite is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodomy

    Romans 1:26-32, "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."

    1 Corinthians 6:9-11, "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God."

    1 Timothy 1:9-10, "Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;"

    2 Peter 2:6, "And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;"

    Jude 7, "Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire."

    So if you question it's even in the Bible, then I think I made or proved my point.

    Please paraphrase it for me if you will, I don't feel like dedicating my entire night to reading some 40 page long hypothesis.

    It is a proven hypothesis.

    So... if you stood at the boundary of the universe and took on step further out, where would you be? :)

    It's really not though. We don't even know how many things on our own planet work yet, but we have supposedly proven something that goes on trillions of miles into the cosmos? Color me skeptical. And I don't know where I'd be, but you can't say for certain either way considering there's no way you can know.

    Yes it is. And this logic is silly. We know what we know, and we're learning more all the time. That we don't know absolutely everything about how absolutely everything work, on earth or not, is irrelevant.

    And like I said, I embrace science for this. And like I've said before; we may have the capacity to prove God.

    Wanna even see another of my wild angles? Christ said as a Christian, we strive to be "Christ-like". And if you believe Christ is God; then pure knowledge is GOD. :o

    No, it isn't. 500 years ago it was a proven scientific fact that the earth was flat and was at the center of the universe. I'd say we've discovered a bit since then. I don't trust mankind has a clue on what's going on out there. Men have been wrong billions of times before and will be wrong billions of times in the future. I put my faith in God, and even if it turned out I was wrong, the oh well, it would all be meaningless anyway.
