Einstein originally added a "cosmological constant" in 1917 to counterbalance the effect of gravity and achieve a static universe, a notion which was the accepted view at the time. He eliminated this constant in 1931 saying it was his biggest blunder.

Now since it is accepted that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate, dark energy/dark matter shows Einstein was esentially correct in 1917.

True. String theory says there are like ten spatial dimensions because that's the only way the math works out.

“Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see — such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.”
(Colossians 1:15-17)

Funny you should bring this up . Check out Sabine Hossenfelder's videos on YouTube. Astrophysicists are beginning to question the Standard Model of the Universe because they are realizing that things are not adding up to what they should be.

Kind of like inserting god into things that are unexplainable at the moment.

Matter consumed by black holes doesn't go anywhere. We can calculate the mass of a black hole, which is the total of all matter its consumed.

So it just rips atoms apart and stores them? It’s like a huge gravity whirlpool in the fabric of space time? I’m being serious. I like astrophysics but advanced math is not my strong suit.

Atheist scientists are their own God, so they will refuse to admit that God exists. They make up "Dark Matter" so they can continue to dismiss that God made the universe.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve read all day.
I’m agnostic, which I’d imagine most “scientists” are; rather than your atheism claim. Their beliefs come from a practical sense instead of encountering something can’t explain and just claiming it’s dark matter out of disbelief that their their findings bring them to evidence of god.

Only a moron that feels threatened by someone else’s beliefs would make the comment you’ve made.
