Dark matter still a mystery

Well known creationist physicist Dr John Hartnett has been very critical in CMI literature and elsewhere of the alleged stuff that astronomers call dark matter. He has said, “Its alleged existence is an admission that we don’t know something about our universe”, and has predicted that it will not be found, at least not in the exotic form and quantity needed.

In November 2019 the popular science magazine New Scientist had this admission on its front cover:

“DARK MATTER: We still haven’t found it. Our theories are falling apart.”

Commenting on this situation, Dr Hartnett says,

Add to that the mystery of ‘dark energy’ and the two components total 96% of the mass/energy content of the universe. But what makes it worse, we know nothing about these alleged entities. The simplest solution—as per Ockham’s Razor—is that they just do not exist. The big bang cosmological paradigm is wrong. It is based on the false notion that the universe created itself, without the Creator. It follows then that when fallen creatures use this false starting point, many contradictions will arise in any theory that tries to explain the universe. And finally someone is admitting it—their theories are falling apart.
