Why am I am very, very suspicious of a theory of cosmic design (er, accident) that requires that 90+ percent of ALL matter be undiscoverable and unknown and “dark” - just so the “mathematics” looks “pretty” and “complete” and “congruent”?

Should not the mathematics and the “cosmological theories” tell why WHAT we see is WHAT we see?

Rather than assume that 90% of what is in the universe can never be seen and must be invisible? (Personally, rather than believe in “dark matter” - I've seen much more evidence for a Designer or a “God” than I've seen of dark matter and dark energy.

Then again.... Speaking of “dark energy” ...

"We don't know what is causing it,"

This is why I respect astronomers. Out of all the scientists you read about in the news media, these guys seem to be honestly enjoying themselves in the pursuit of knowledge, rather than pretending to explain things they don't understand.

Maybe looking into the vastness of space engenders humility.

But in general, magnetic fields in interstellar space should exert a randomizing influence, destroying any bright spots, says Hooper...

Let's wait for the reviews from the Hollywood critics. They make educated guesses too! (s/)
