“While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” II Cor. 4:18(NKJV)
Being the science buff I am I recently read an article in National Geographic about the “shadow universe.” The scientific community is seriously investigating the possibility of a whole “nother” universe that we can’t see. All scientific data points to it though we cannot see it or, at present, contact it.
According to the article most all scientists have limited themselves to only the visible. Recently, however, they have formulated that a substance exists the makes up over 90 % of the universe. Less than 10% exists in our visibility level. That means that most of it is unseen. Check out the above reference and consider what is said. This is Spirit revealed.
At first what they call “dark matter” was thought to be the force that holds the universe together in simple terms. They have formulated that it could be far more than that when all is said and done. Since they have already concluded that “dark matter” is the “glue that holds the universe together” let us consider this. “And He(Jesus) is before all things, and in Him all things consist.” Col. 1:17(NKJV) The Greek word for consists means, to put or to hold together. One translation says, “He is the glue that holds all things together.” This is interesting to me. Science is beginning to catch up after 2000 years. Good for them.
“By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” Heb. 11:3(NKJV) How interesting. The premise of the NG article was that it could be that another reality exists in the unseen realm. There could be another universe where life exists and culture is formed. Hasn’t that what the Bible has been saying all along? It would be hard for most scientists to admit that their discovery has the potential to prove that there really is a Creator and Sustainer and to us His name is Jesus. Who said that science and the Bible are contradictions? By faith we understand.**
