Dark matter caused the demise of the dinosaurs?

Did dark matter (DM) also preserve the dinosaurs' soft tissue, blood cells and DNA? And did it implant C14 in their bones in such a way that it would not decay over millions of years? I guess if it did that, it could also have retained images of dinosaurs, which could then be implanted in people's minds millions of years later, allowing those people to draw or carve images of dinosaurs around the world, before any skeletons had been dug up.

Pretty fancy stuff, that DM.

Interesting article! I was just curious though as to why you call this lady's new idea a "theory".

If she herself says it is a speculative idea, then how can it qualify as a true scientific theory?

Evolutionists often criticise people for saying "But it's only a theory." In this case, it does seem that it is only a theory - and NOT a theory in the scientific sense of the word.

It seems evolutionists use the word theory to bolster their speculative ideas and make them more scientific and official sounding.

But in reporting on these so called "theories", wouldn't it be better to speak of them as a hypothesis as opposed to a theory?

Just wondering.

Thanks.

I must apologize. I couldn't help myself. I started laughing one-third to halfway through that quoted summary of her theory.

Dark matter? Oort Cloud? Really?! LOL!

"American theoretical physicist and cosmologist Dr Lisa Randall is another scientist grasping at dark matter for answers." Help me out here what is "theoretical physicist and cosmologist " Since when and how can we ever prove them wrong or even correct, if not possible how come the Doctor title? This goes of every Scientist on earth. They have "muddied" the water so badly we don't believe them period. Can anybody tell me we how mankind is helped with space travel, say to Mars and the moon, while parts of our oceans remain undiscovered?

You can tell evolutionists are desperate for a non-biblical cause for the dinosaurs' demise. Now we're somehow supposed to believe dark matter, which we've never observed and much less understand, made over 65% of life die out at the end of the Cretaceous Period (according to evolutionists). Yep, totally believable. If only they would give the Bible's account of a global Flood and a changing climate after the Flood, the extinction of the dinosaurs and so many other scientific mysteries would be solved!

I do not have a degree in science but I do have some grey matter sitting on my shoulders, (it has been proven to exist and God gave it to me to use).

Evolutionists are always falsely accusing us creationists of appealing to the God of the gaps when we don't have an explanation for a particular phenomenon. Then evolutionists in turn use said methodology to explain the problematic assumptions in their theories using dark matter which has never been observed. This theory, (and I say that with reservation) sounds like more dark matter of the gaps to me? "Speculative", doesn't quite describe my first reaction to her hypothesis, (I agree Dr. H there must be some fairies in there somewhere)?

Please explain to me how a single meteor or even many could bury millions of dinosaurs as well as all other living things under billions of tons of earth miles deep? I've been to the grand canyon and have observed the flat pancake like layers perfectly uniform without a single ecosystem in between. Those ecosystems are found in pockets throughout the earth in the form of coal and were obviously uprooted and carried to their present locations by water. Those layers were obviously laid down successively in a short period of time and I don't need a Phd. to see that! Does Dr. Randall want me to believe there were multiple floods that formed those layers over a long period?

Forgive me for being so blunt but this hypothesis is a joke among many other evolutionist just so stories, (And Dawkins calls me deluded)! Evolutionists are demeaning real professional science with their just so ridiculous stories but thank The Lord there are some voices of reason out there raised up by him!

God Bless.

Bad science irritates me if you couldn't tell!

Romans 1:22 - Professing to be wise, they became fools.

I was having a discussion with someone about science and faith a few months ago. They invoked dark matter to answer the problem with gravity not being strong enough to hold the universe together. I told him that that dark matter was theoretical and that there is no real proof of its existence. This person spent the rest of the conversation insisting it had been proven to exist. I knew at that point there was no reason to continue to the conversation.

Faith in science is taught to be infallible in our schools systems and that presents a problem. There are so many who believe that "settled science" is the truth and that it cannot be questioned. But even beyond what is considered settled, they have so much faith in the minds of scientist that the general public will believe any science article they read is fact. I would be willing to bet that if you put two opposing theories in a magazine, but you did not tell the general public they were opposing theories, most people would believe both of them. It would also appeal to their intellectual side and they would feel superior in their thinking simply for believing what a science article states.

Then you could take an article from someone that has spent years studying a subject. Like those here at CMI or at other creation research institutions and those same people would dismiss their articles without even reading them.

My point is, no matter how much creation research is done. The battle we are in is a spiritual one. Creation research is a great tool for those willing to hear, but we need to pray for God to open hearts and minds as only he can do.

It is significant that the level of derision directed at 'deep time deniers' is much more appropriately applied to the deriders.

What we actually know is that dinosaurs are no longer being fossilized as they were in the past. Also if they are still around they are confined to places which are not readily accessible and where they can most easily hide.

The rest of the story reported is not just speculative but fact free. It is clearly allowable for a 'scientist' to invoke a indeterminate number of hypothetical entities provided they are not supernatural. There is no scientific reason for this arbitrary ideological choice. There is however a very definite moral reason which is clearly stated in Romans chapter 1.

It's night time now. Is that caused by the descent of dark matter? What a tall tale she spins; fairy tales are more believable. Well put John.

Thanks, John. It's amazing how far people's 'faith' can be stretched by such nonsense. "Well, science says so, so it must be true."

I've always been leery of the 'dark matter' theory, the existence of other solar systems and even the so-called 'light years' speculation.

The big question in all this web of astronomical fakery, is 'where's the Spider?'

I think you and I know the answer.

God bless you.

A billion years ago, a bucket full of dark matter floated through our region of the universe, and caused a rocky pool of sludge to form dna, proteins and other things necessary to create cells. And each cell had the ability to become more and more detailed with new information. Dark Matter sound like a great faith. No doubt a couple of invisible tables of dark matter appeared under Jesus' feet as he stepped out of the boat, making him capable of walking on water. If only the dark matter would give me the winning lotto numbers too.

Any one with a smattering of grade 6 science knows that dark matter only takes the shape of a double cheeseburger. It is laughable to postulate that double cheeseburger shaped dark matter can affect gravity perturbations since this obviously requires a flat pancake shape.

I can see clearly now - almost clear enough to see dark matter
