Dark energy is perfectly scientific, it just is not fully understood yet. Hence the name "Dark" energy.

Dark Energy Wikipedia
In physical cosmology and astronomy, dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy that permeates all of space and tends to accelerate the expansion of the universe.[1] Dark energy is the most accepted hypothesis to explain observations since the 1990s that indicate that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. In the standard model of cosmology, dark energy currently accounts for 73% of the total mass–energy of the universe.[2]


Based on all our knowledge and observations of how the universe works. Dark energy is the term used to describe a force who's effects we can observe, but cannot yet directly measure.

We cannot "see" gravity, but we can observe it's effects.

Trying to debunk something using baseless arguments, because we don't fully understand all it's ins and outs yet. Despite all the evidence pointing to this conclusion. Is just absurd.

i agree.. but yeah, i would like to hear more about this dark energy explained...

i know there is dark energy in this world, but is it really being taught in school?.. i never was taught it, but i was taught some about the big bang, which i know way more now about then i ever did when i learned it in school.

how so is dark energy taught behind the big bang?

exactly!. we already basically do have a one world government.. and its only going to push on us even stronger, so this is the time we need to realize this and push back!....

a one world government is not necessary.. we can take care of ourselves!

I would be very surprised if dark energy was discussed in any great length in a science class - and if it were,it would most likely be identified as an interesting, though highly speculative theory - which plugs a hole in our current understanding.

It's verifiable mathematically. There is no way to verify God mathematically or if there is. No one has. Technically you can "see" math. So that could arguably be part of the five senses.

Your response is dripping with irony......

You notice how atheists say that because God cannot be measured by any of the five physical senses, he is not empirically verifiable and therefore belief in God is unscientific.

I think you mean perceived, not measured. But I really haven't heard any modern atheist say such things. It's a kind of fictionalised Victorian-era atheist proclamation.

Speaking as an atheist, I should say that it is not the lack of evidence for God, but the logical and material evidence against the existence of such an entity that convinces.

Yet they dont seem to realize that Dark Energy cannot be experienced or measured by any of the five senses, yet despite it being not empirically verifiable and unscientific they teach it as the main theory behind the Big Bang.

Dark energy is not evidence for the Big Bang at all; the evidence lies in things like the cosmic microwave background and what we see when we look at faraway galaxies through large telescopes – the evidence, if you like, of our eyes.

Anyway, you don't have to invoke something as exotic as dark energy to make your point; we can't perceive radio waves with any of our senses either, yet scientists stubbornly insist they are real. The fools!

As for dark energy, we don't know what it is, but we can see its effects in the sky above us, so we know there's something happening out there. The name 'dark energy' is just a placeholder until we find out what it really is.

perfect paws of the NWO

That sounds rather sweet; makes one think of the NWO as a cute, soft, furry animal.

I'm still waiting for scientists to explain the holy spirit.

What is it about the Holy Spirit that you think requires a scientific explanation?

G doesn't exist, I keep hearing. So?
I thought there should be some proof before we write everyone off

Sorry but you are technically wrong. Dark energy only explains the continued acceleration of the univers AFTER the big bang. It is not the main theory of the big bang.

As it goes I do not believe in dark energy. I think it is a bunkum theory. I am also an atheist. Your theory is falling apart pretty fast huh?
