Applied Protology 201 Guidelines
This forum is for Christian creationists (YEC and OEC) only, and we ask that conversations be kept civil and with brotherly charity.
Deistic notions or even theistic evolutionary* notions are excluded from this forum.
This area is not to be used to bash organizations that promote a Cosmological view different from your own (ie AiG or RTB).
The purpose of this area is to provide a safe haven for fellow creationists to discuss their differences away from the hostility that normally accompanies such discussion. While disagreements are inevitable, the purpose of this forum is for fellow believers to discuss their differences in a civil manner. If you are unable to discuss differences in Cosmogony in a civil manner, then this forum is NOT for you!!!!!
There have been some issues as to who is allowed to post in this area and who is not. TheologyWeb had very specific goals and ideas in mind when setting up this area, and this is an attempt to clarify. This forum is for creationists only. Here

*Theistic evolution is a position somewhere between evolution and creationism. It says that God created the substance of our universe and the guided it into what we have today via the evolutionary process.

What is Dark Energy?

I think Sparko is spot-on about dark matter. Way out there light is bending, but there is not detectable matter around to bend it, so to keep our high school and college physics textbooks around, we have to come up with something to explain why light is bending when there is nothing there. So, we create a new type of matter that we can't see because it doesn't reflect light. We have no way of knowing that it's there; we just create it to allow the laws of physics to work the same way out there. My problem other than the obvious is if light is not reflected, then it's absorbed. And if absorbed, how can that unique mass handle all of that energy?
As a bit of an aside, not to be too critical this hypothetical construct idea. it is fairly consistently used in many disciplines. The idea of the subconscious or unconscious is simply a construct created by Freud and Jung to attempt to explain a lot of head stuff.
