[Agamemnon]

The astronomical Dark Matter thing takes on a whole new significance in the light of still another passage:

I Corinthians 13:12 "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."

"For now we see...": Science is based upon the study of that which may be observed. Anything else is mere specualtion.

"...through a glass....": Through a telescope. Could also apply to microscope.

"...darkly,....": coincidentally, and I suspect without benefit of consulting Scripture first, astonomers chose to call the interstellar matter that they can't see -- yet know is there -- "Dark Matter."

Very interesting. Thank you, dear Agamemnon!
